You Need a backup plan, and it should be mulitayered
The first should be local, and if possible (Mac Users) a Cloned, bootable system, so you can immediately get back up and running if (or when) a drive crashes.
The 2nd layer is cloud-based syncing and backup of your documents and folders.
3rd is an offsite full backup, for loss of computer, fire, major disasters.
