        Well I do something similar. The last three backups are stored on a hard
drive in another machine.

        The last backup is burned to DVD-RW.

        The current backup is written to DVD-RAM.

        Every once in a while I burn a backup to DVD-R and take it offsite.

        It's not 100% coverage, but it has served me well so far! I've survived two
HD crashes using this method. TTYL
