Good post. It is additional work, but taking pictures of the model/serial plate on electronics and appliances will help both with insurance claims and in the event someone steals them.
Another option is to use video and describe the information on each item as you video the items.
I also am a fan of online backup services for your computer(s). I had a backup hard drive and tried to keep up without success. Then you have to store the backup drive somewhere. With the online system the computers are keeping up in real time.
