I always use a snapshot backup (on my mac its the Time Machine software) to an external USB drive, and when I go out of town, I always carry an extra HDD with me. This only happened to me once when I went a few hours away for a weekend convention. Just popped the new drive in, started up recovery and told it to pull from backup drive, within an hour it was back up and running.
