I would create encrypted drive in a file container with software like truecrypt, with long enough pass phrase, make a new wallet on this drive, send bitcoins to that wallet, unmount encrypted drive, make a few backup copies of encrypted file container and put them in different places including online storage, just in case.
Someone has to start a bitcoin insurance company first. Have at it.
How would that possibly work?
I was curious about this question too. I am aware of websites like mybitcoin.com, but what about an insured bank where you would be reimbursed if the bank was "robbed" or destroyed?
None such service exists yet.

Do they have any kind of assurance in case of errors?
What kind of assurance can you give yourself?
Ok, that secures the wallet but spontaneous withdraws get complicated

A client that never connected to the net is about as good as it gets.

I just encrypt the wallet.dat file onto a cheap 128 meg thumbdrive then put it into my safety deposit box. Destroying the unencrypted copies on my PC is also necessary.
I was thinking about clearing out my client.
Just send them to MtGox or a private online wallet (like MyBitcoin).
Do not use MyBitcoin! I sent them a message about a lost password more than a week ago. I still have not received a reply. The only way to contact them is through the online system they provide (which I used) and apparently they don't even check that.
Wait, how did you use the internal messaging system without your password?
Something stinks.

Or set up a wallet on another computer which isn't connected to the internet. I wouldn't trust all my cash in one site if I had a lot of it.

I second that
