I've never actually had a drive fail, probably because I do backups.

On my server at home, I do an rsync backup of data every night to a SATA
drive in a USB dock. Once a month I do a G4L backup of the entire drive
image to the same docked drive. I then swap that drive out and take it to
work for "off site storage."

With the G4L image, I don't have to reinstall and configure everything.
With the rsync data, I can restore the /home directory and get everything
back to where it was.
