Oh I have the important stuff like photos and code backed up on a second drive.
I started doing that after my dad brought me a drive his girlfriend's family had had disney photos on only to have it become corrupted, and then formatted. I managed to save the photos with a program called File Scavenger. It was the only one I could find which would work under those sorts of conditions. It saved all the photos.
The only stuff I would have lost to this would have been a mess of downloads and a copy of my program files directory from the last time I reinstalled windows. But I do save stuff in my program file directories, so I would have lost stuff like old 3D models I'd made that I can't be bothered to back up.
