Its a good idea to have it, just in case.  Suppose you spill hot coffee in
server and a short circuit wipes out the hard drive with 6 man months of
work on it (and stupidly, its the only copy) ?
(Dumb scenario, but dumber things have happened).

Last time I needed it, I called the agent who sold me my auto insurance.
It wasn't too much $200-$300
