Lost 6 months of edits when my backup drive failed at a coffee shop in Austin

I was at Epoch Coffee near North Loop finishing the last chapter of my novel and hit save like normal. Five minutes later the file wouldn't open, and my external hard drive made that clicking sound before going silent. Turns out the drive had been failing for weeks and my cloud sync was off, so I lost everything since December. Do most people here keep local copies on two separate drives, or is that overkill for a hobby project?
