For years I have been backing up to hard drives on the data server (NT/SQLS7) and then distributing those files (.bak) to other servers using scheduled ftp or PCAnywhere sessions. I maintain a 4 day rotation in different directories. I am not as diligent with transaction files only maintaining 2 hour backups for a day on an independant hard drive.
I roll off data onto DVD every 4 days.
