Cron job backs our two PCs up to an encrypted USB drive overnight, every night, using rsnapshot.
Backs up Linux PC (where the drive is attached) and Windows PC (via rsync courtesy of Cygwin).
Rotate the USB drive with its off-site partner every Wednesday (cron job emails me a reminder that morning.)
Every January I replace the external USB drives with new ones.
That's the PCs.
For our phones, contacts are handled in OwnCloud and using CardDAV[1] to two-way synchronise with the phones. This also is really nice as I can manage and edit contacts on the desktop as I like to avoid data entry on pokey little phone screen keyboards if I can help it. (I also use the contact data for other things such as caller ID info popping up on the TV when the home phone rings, so a single source that updates everywhere is handy.)
Use Titanium Backup[2] to backup phones daily, and FolderSync[3] to SFTP said backups to the desktop PC periodically (along with two-way sync of photos on the phone).
