I try to keep it simple. I use the old XCopy to copy what is important to external hard drives (2 Copies) and keeping it safe.
This ensures the accessibility of data and also I can keep one copy offsite just in case my one copy is damaged. Also I can backup my SVN repository using the XCOPY that will keep the versions of important documents intact as well.
