Best Backup Solution for Dual Hard Drives?

I currently have two 40GB hard drives. I was planning on using one for regular use and one for backup. What would be the best backup solution? I don't want to waste the second hard drive. I've heard about ghosting, but I don't know much about it or how to do it. I'm not worried about one drive failing as much as I'm worried about a virus screwing things up. Should I split up applications so that I can have things that can potentially receive a virus on one hard drive and have more important programs (such as programs I will use for school) on another hard drive? In other words, if I was to receive a virus on my computer, will one hard drive be affected or will both? I have good virus protection, but I'm just being cautious. I'm taking this computer to college with me and I don't want anything to go wrong, and if anything does go wrong, I want to have everything backed up. Thanks.
 
if you are the paranoid you seem to be, set the 2 HDS in raid1.
if not, learn how to use the autosave feature of Word. i doubt anything REALLY valuable to you will be other than some .Doc file with your last essay or your thesis.
