If we had a fire, after I knew that my kids were safe, the next thing I would save would be my digital pictures. I've setup some redundancy in my home network, mirroring one drive to another. My home system has 5 different drives, giving me about 1TB+ of storage, but I still don't feel totally comfortable that my data is safe.

I just read this article on building a redundant terabyte file server for under $500, which is pretty appealing. I'm waiting for someone to come out with a service that interfaces with Amazon's new online storage service to let me throw my 50GBs of critical data on their disk farm for $5/month. Sure beats me trying to stand it up on my own.
