At work I do full data backup, encrypt it locally, then scp it to a server on the other side of the continent, after which the virtual machine gets shutdown and the virtual disk copied to local NAS device. This all happens automatically every night and then I get an email telling me if it all went well or not.
At home, on occasion I copy my documents folder around to some other computers and rsync it a second disk in my main computer (so if both drives get zapped in the same power spike, I'll lose everything). I really should do something a little more automated at home because any backup that requires human intervention to complete, is basically broken from the get go.
