If important, use multiple back up methods, as in DVD, perhaps USB stick, maybe a shell as well.. Or you could buy more HDDs... External HDDs aren't necessarily a bad idea.

If not so important, the cheapest way is DVDs at the moment. It's quite important since the bulk of the data is my own gfx stuff (one multi layer pic can go easily over 10 or 15 MB, not to mention 3d meshes or animations which can be much bigger), which I can get nowhere else when it's gone. I think DVD is good....additional backups are maybe overkill though
