You know, I'm almost considering buying a cheap desktop that I can load Ubuntu Server on, and have my laptop automatically do incremental rsync backups to it every night. I've been trying to get Amazon S3 to work, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to get incremental backups working with it yet.

Use Time machine on OS X to have an almost daily archive backup to an external hd. And then once in a few weeks or so I make a bootable backup clone to another external hd.

Personal photo's are backupped to two other hd's.
