Even better would be to place the /home partition on a completely separate drive from the system drive (on the off chance that your system drive goes bad). Of course, if you don't have a second drive available, then the suggestion below is perfectly fine in most cases.
Most servers I've set up have 3 separate hard drives. One is a dedicated system drive, one is a dedicated /home drive, and the other is a dedicated backup drive. I also typically set up remote encrypted backups as quickly as possible.
