Hi,

sure, regular full backups are a great thing. But there's one simple 
thing I like to do especially with code: Setup your repositories on a 
different machine (like a rented root server, or a public hoster like 
github). Then always push your commits regularly (oh, it compiles again 
- push it :D). Makes working on different machines easy, too. It's 
simpler than setting up and adhering to a strict backup plan and it's 
naturally incremental and closely tied to the development process.

Reminds me: I have to throw on my full backup again..
