Funny thing. Ever since I heard that LJ might be under threat - half the workforce sacked, etc - I've been desolate; you are my community, you guys. And I feel like I've only just found you, and if LJ goes you'll just scatter, we'll never build this again.
But.
I'm a writer, I depend on the security of my texts, I back up as a matter of course and doing so has saved my career more than once: as, f'rexample, last month, when the desktop died and I had to transfer a nearly-finished novel onto the laptop to get it done and had it right there in my pocket, thanks. [And no, since you ask: the desktop is still not back from hospital. Bloody Dell...]
But no, I do not back up my journal. Half my f-list is running around anxiously doing that just in case; and me, I am sitting here doing other stuff and not even thinking about it. Not sure why, really: it just seems to be something I don't need to keep. I don't back up my conversations, either...
