    My main storage is a NAS box, which backs up to another NAS box which then backs up to a USB Drive.

    I have an offsite backup at the NSA. The hard part is restoring from it.

    I use CrashPlan. I have each machine back up to both an internal server (free!) and CrashPlan's servers (not free). If you have friends with lots of disk space, you can back up to their machines as well, perhaps dropping CrashPlan's cloud backups. It's really important to have offsite backups somewhere though.

    As with every backup solution, restoration is really important, and due to stupidity, I've tested mine more than once. It works well, and the on-site backups makes it really quick and convenient. I'd post a referral link, but I don't think they do that. Have a look, even if you just back up locally it's pretty slick with scheduling, de-duplication, backup sets, etc.
