For music and for photos (especially your own photos) I would 
definitely back them up on a removable media (in my case DVDs). That 
way I can safely save copies of my photos in a different location 
than the computer. I actually burn two copies of stuff I have created 
myself, one DVD (or CD) to keep near my workplace and one copy to 
keep in another location.

I would do the same for music I had payed for.

Best wishes!
