An interesting subject.

I have three rotating USB drives for offsite backup. I swap them out to
a nearby site weekly and take another with me when I travel. So if I've
done everything else right, I should be good against anything short of
the Yellowstone Caldera going or an asteroid strike if I'm near home
when it occurs.

These I rsync manually from a RAID array on my backup server. That array
includes my VTAPEs. I also have a script that calls amanda, then backs
up amanda's metadata into the RAID array. So everything gets backed up
to the offsite drives.
