In my current situation I have about 4.5TB of media I am backing up on my home PC. The contents of the existing media changes daily as I add, change and delete content.

I have been doing a cold storage backup, but that only seems to happen every 3 months or so at best. Over those 3 months there was a lot of time spent on revising the original media, I would hate to lose that.

I understand that Mirroring is not considered a true backup, but it certainly is a backup in the case of a drive failure, which is what I am most concerned about.

Thoughts or comments on mirroring and frequency of cold storage backups? I feel like employing both is a good strategy.
