MBR backed up?



Hi -

I think the subject line says what concerns me. I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 (dual boot with WinXP). After making such changes, I always save the MBR and a copy of fdisk -l, usually on a removable flash drive. Maybe I should be saving GRUB as well?
I keep a copy of Puppy around as my "rescue" system. I usually have my 
desktop pictures, email list, and bookmarks on more than one computer, 
so I can restore those from another computer.
I also keep an "install" folder on one of the drives, with the latest 
version of Firefox, T'bird, other major apps.
Just thoughts, but I think adding the MBR to the automated backup would 
be a good idea.
Thanks for providing this part of Ubuntu.
