[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 525707, member: 25095"] I use TimeMachine as one of my copies as well, but it still has to backup somewhere. I have an Apple TimeCapsule ... basically an Airport Extreme with a built in hard drive, that several of my laptops back up to via Time Machine. For my desktop, I have a dedicated external firewire drive that I use for Time Machine. I also use CrashPlan for off-site backups to the cloud. The 3rd tier for me is to manually copy images to a RAID protected NAS, which I also have automatically syncing with another NAS system off-site. The flip side to multiple backup strategies ... make sure you do a restore periodically from each method you use, so you can catch any problems with the backup before you need to do a real restore.
