Look for a 3-2-1 approach, ie. 3 forms of backup, 2 backups onsite and 1 backup offsite. I use a product GoodSync it will automatically keep track and just push the changes from source to destination and you can set this up to run daily/mthly or whatever schedule you want. I have this setup to run in idle time, so when various family laptops are left on, the changes are pushed out to them from the main system plus I also have a backup on a hard disk that lives in the car's entertainment system.
