I'm not sure if having a hard copy of irreplacable data would count as a back-up to most people, but it does to me[1] ;) My Part II thesis now only exists as a hard copy due to computer death.
Is irreplacable still irreplacable if it was unique but you don't really care that you lost it? Just out of interest :)
[1] But yes, I'm a techless artsy type who's compiling PhD data by hand anyway. In fact, the most irreplaceable things I have are photos (meticulously backed up on CDs) and stories (not backed up, but usually swimming in cyberspace somewhere retrievable).
