I love Dropbox for exactly this reason. I can back up dotfiles, game settings, preferences, my music library... anything anywhere on my disk, as long as I symlink it. It does slow down some operations (since a Dropbox RMI needs to be called whenever one of those files changes) but it's saved me so many times, it's hard to believe.

Dropbox supports symlinks (and the way you'd expect them to)

Woah. This is big news for me. I wonder why this isn't more obvious.
