Only a small minority of home users back up with any sort of regularity... in
my experience, most of the ones who do it with any sort of regularity are the
ones who have already experienced data loss due to hard drive failure AND who
have someone set up a system that works invisibly and automatically.

Here, all computers connect to the Net (etc) wirelessly; I've got an Apple
Airport router- expensive but somewhat more reliable than the cheap models I
used to use... one of its features is that it can share a hard drive connected
to its USB port... I've got a 1.5 TB drive connected that way- the Macs (but
not the Windows systems) are set to back up regularly to it, using Apple's Time
Machine backup.

Nice thing for laptops- if they're out of the house, backups are postponed, but
take place as soon as the system is back on the home network. All the backing
up happens quietly- no user input needed.
