tarsnap (http://www.tarsnap.com/ http://www.tarsnap.com/) handles encrypted database backups, but I've never had to restore. Production database is replicated to two other machines (different data centers) anyway so needing to fall back to a backup would require a huge disaster. But other than that: * everything is in source code control, with clones of the repository in a few places * AMIs for the production machines (copied to multiple AWS regions for redundancy) Only taken every couple of months since they are just a pull & build away from being up to date. * Google/Dropbox for email, documents, etc using TrueCrypt for sensitive stuff I don't really see the need for a full traditional backup process. When I did use one, I never found the time to fully test the restore process frequently so would have to doubt how robust it was anyway!
