I do exactly the same. I try to keep the C partition as small as possible so I can boot from a Ghost USB device (actually it's my MP3 player...) and burn to a DVD. Gotta love Ghost.
Drive D is for pics, development, movies etc. that I periodically copy to a spare HD.
I had a drive fail some years ago and it took me weeks to setup Windows and all the apps. Once bitten...
p.s. Thanks for the reminder, I'm overdue another backup!
