Regular back up, main computer has an always-connected Time Machine HDD attached, lappie has a similar one which gets done once a week.
Repair permissions about once a month on both machines, just because I can. To be honest, don't know whether it is worth doing like that ior if it is simply necessary to do as required. All my docs get backed up to Dropbox, photos get put on both computers (and so Time Machined) Things I don't do that I think might be a good idea: Separate HDD for superDuper bootable clone of both machines maybe weekly, a third backup disk for each (or a biggie for both) stored away from home. These two could be combined of course, rotated weekly. Have to say, my macbook in particular boots really slowly, though runs ok during use. Don't know why.
