this is an updated version of my reply to the "syncronizing disks" thread in January (you might find some the rest of that thread helpful)

since that time i bought a used Drobo for a song and use it to back up my backups


0) i use Time Machine to a 1TB Time Capsule for everything _except_ my photos and a few other bulky items

1) i have Aperture back up photos to a network drive (on my server) as it loads them from my SD card to my drive

2) the server's collection of attached drives are periodically synced to a Drobo (which i don't trust for primary data)

3) frequently sync my entire system to another backup drive (using Carbon Copy Cloner)

4) back some things up to the free online storage i get from Dreamhost

i had a couple of my backup drives fail this spring -- i didn't lose anything but it has stymied my plans to start an offsite rotation
