Accountancy Data is automatic each night to a hosted system, with a local copy.
Spreadsheets are held on a NAS box which copies to a small swappable hard drive on a two hour basis (Hard drive swapped out once a week).
Other stuff is either Memory Stick or emailed to my home.
Yet more stuff I hold on the webspace.
Rule 1...You can never be too paranoid about backups.
Rule 2...The only rule that matters is Rule 1

I take it you have a dedicated machine on which you test and restore each and every backup you make then?

Yup, I back up to networked drive that is automatically backed up to tape.
I also copy to usb stick, sometimes to cd or dvd, email it to myself, stash stuff online.
Still managed to loose my source code for an article I posted here six years ago. Now I have more potential places to find it than I have time to look in!
My conclusion:
Most backups just fill up space. The only backups that are worth doing are the ones you wish you had done when you lose stuff. (Anyone got a time machine?)

I do, but that is top-secret.
