I wonder how common hard drive failures are. I really should get around to backing up all my photos and movies. I think I read somewhere that the Western digital hard drive I have in the iMac doesn’t last too long

It’s not only mechanical hard drive failures that are a concern.
Overheating can blow the circuit board, shock & vibration can do damage, and probably the most common problem—on unprotected and recklessly used Windows machines—viruses.
I think I’ve done data recovery for myself and friends for all of those reasons at one time or another.

I’ve actually erased a back up, because I thought I didn’t need it anymore, only to realize a week or two later that I don’t have any of the stuff that was backed up on my computer. So being a dumb ass is also a good reason to be vigilant with backing stuff up.
(You don’t know how depressing it is losing all the work you did during University. I was lucky Patrick still had our Compilers code, and Ryan still had our OS code, but I lost all sorts of other stuff.)
