My backup schemes are a little more arcane than most. In my home I back up the Macs to two different places. I have a My Cloud <http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=1140> network storage device and an Ubuntu Linux server, both on the local network. My desktop machine is backed up with Time Machine to the My Cloud and via rsync to the Linux machine. This gives me two backups. In my office, the desktop machine is backed up with Time Machine to a USB connected hard drive and via rsync to a Linux server located elsewhere in the building. My MacBook is a different story. When it wakes up, it looks to see where it is. If it’s in my office, it backs up to the Linux machine down the hall with rsync. If it’s at home, it does Time Machine to the My Cloud and rsync to the home Linux box, just like the desktop machine. In addition to this, all my current work is done in my Dropbox folder so I can work on it anywhere and have it magically backed up on all my machines. L^2
