What's everyone's storage / back up routine?

I've just purchased an EVO 960 500 GB system drive and am now debating what to do with my photos, videos (Plex), and music. Currently, they're stored on an old 1GB WD Black drive. I need more room (approx 2-4 GB) and also realized that I should be keeping a regular back up of these files.

What does everyone recommend? I have room for two 3.5 drives in my case. I could also potentially add an external drive or enclosure.

I'm particularly interest in what I should be doing to keep a current back up of this data.

Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
Nightly automated backups to NAS for critical files (keep 7 copies). Weekly backups of downloads, photos, etc to NAS. Manual photo backups to Amazon Glacier and to a USB drive that is usually powered off.
