Same here.  I plug into a 3TB harddrive when I sit down at the office, and 
disconnect it when I leave.  That way my backup is "offsite".

For good measure, I also back up to an offsite location via a service called 
"CrashPlan".  129/year gives me unlimited backup storage for up to 10 machines. 
 It has saved my bacon on more than one occasion.

Every month I also rotate off my last month's images to two different external 
drives.  So at any given time I will have copies of month-or-more older photos 
on:
 1. Internal harddrive
 2. External Time Machine drive
 3. Portable "image archive" harddrive (contents compared between source and 
destination post-copy)
 4. Desktop-sized "image archive" harddrive (contents compared between source 
and destination post-copy)
 5. CrashPlan's "cloud".

That's pretty belt-and-suspenders but it works for me.  And most of it is 
automated, so it "just happens".
