Why MBR partitioning and why a separate boot partition?

I already have a 1.5 TB external HDD. And I intend to use GPT
partitioning, which (I've read) stores checksummed copies of the
partition table. For the actual data, I have weekly backups to the
external HDD, and I intend to have daily rsync of some of the SSD data
to the internal HDD. Would not that be safe enough?

I would like to setup a home server, but probably not very soon.

I store my dotfiles (and some other data) in a git repository in my
notebook. I hope that duplicity is correctly backing up that git
repository, but I admit I have not tested it.
