You can also vary the number of copies needed, depending on the file name.
So, if you want 3 copies of all your flac files, but only 1 copy of oggs:
- # echo "*.ogg git-annex-numcopies=1" >> .gitattributes

Or, you might want to make a directory for important stuff, and configure
it so anything put in there is backed up more thoroughly:
# mkdir important_stuff
- # echo "* git-annex-numcopies=3" > important_stuff/.gitattributes
+ # echo "* annex.numcopies=3" > important_stuff/.gitattributes
