A good version control tool like Subversion would be of great benefit as well. I've come to use Subversion for everything important from source code, letters, my resume rather recently, to MP3 files.
This makes backups easy, change tracking even easier, and gives me a nice time based snapshots! On top of all of that it also allows me to work any any one of my multiple computers (my desktop, my laptop, or even a friend's computer with svn+ssh) without fear of losing anything!
Of course that really biases the tool selection toward a text based approach like \LaTeX{} because then you also get the HUGE benefit of being able to see the differences between the versions easily!
