What do you do for backups?

[tim]

I pose my sempiternal question: how do people back up their computers these days? Now that I have a Mac, I just let Time Machine do its thing. But what if my office catches on fire while my laptop and the backup drive are both in it? Should I have bigger priorities in that case?

Do you use network backups? If so, where do you get your 80 GB of online storage?

Helpful suggestions always appreciated.

My current solution:

1) Priority stuff gets backed up instantly on Dropbox. For a while I was using their free account (2GB) and only backing up creative output; then I decided I liked the service enough to pay for 50GB and start backing up all my music as well.
2) Creative output is also automatically backed up on a hosted server as part of the Makefile targets I use to publish comics, sketches, etc.
3) Phone contacts are automatically synced to AddressBook nightly via bluetooth/applescript and then backed up via DropBox.
4) Bookmarks are backed up via Xmarks.
5) Entire system is backed up to Time Machine whenever I remember to plug in the firewire disk.
6) Periodically I will also make a bootable backup using SuperDuper so if my hard disk dies I can simply clone back to a new one and then bring it up to date from the other backups.

This isn't a perfect system - I still want to add automated backups for email and LJ, and I haven't actually needed to use it yet. But I'm pretty happy with it.
