I have three methods of backing up stuff, all of which I use for different purposes:
CDs: I only use CDs for backing up critical files related to everything I do that's not related to ADG.
DVDs: I've already gone through like, 30 of these backing up ADG stuff. XD
External HD: I keep a regular backup going here. I just have to flip on the drive, double-click a batch file which backs up anything that would be hard to replace, though not necessarily important, disable it and flip it off.
Having suffered a hard drive crash way in the past, losing nine months worth of work on an RPG that was two weeks away from being finished... yeah. Lesson learned. I've never really completely recovered from that event emotionally. :/
I still have the drive though in case it's ever possible to do data recovery off of it.
