Can't speak for work for confidentiality reasons. Personal: I use macs - so I have time machine running to a Time Capsule all the time. On top of htat, my photos, documents, and music folders are rsync'd from my main machine through manual scripts to a modest homebuilt fileserver on a fairly regular basis - usually whenever I dump a bunch of new photos in (because in the end, the photos are the really valuable part, and the rest just goes along conveniently) On top of that, about once a month I plug in an external drive and the same scripts back up the same stuff to a single drive, and keep it elsewhere. THe laptop, which I use more often, but try not to keep critical data on for any longer than I have to: - Photos get moved to the main photo library on the main mac desktop (where normal backup takes over) - A bootable clone of the laptop using SuperDuper to a pocket drive. Usually ever few weekends, at least once a month - also triggerred if I dump some new valuable data on to the machine and/or am planning to put the machine at higher risk (eg: travel). Pocket drive goes offsite. - Also, with about the same frequency, a second superduper clone to a container file on a storage drive at home. Rationale: backups are good. The most important thing I have are my photos - they are priceless and irreplaceable. Everything else I could live with out. - While I keep multiple copies, I need to work out some kind of better offsite solution as well.
