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..
Don't do backups! Have them done automatically!
I recommend backuppc, it also "catches" machines that aren't running
24/7.
And when you work with remote repositories (you should), don't forget
to back up these too.
Have fun,

PS: No one wants backups. People only want restore.
