For sites:

uvbackup to local disk image to ensure database image consistency.
Then OS backup to include the disk image.

For home:

I run virtual PCs for everything: as well as being extremley useful for
testing various configurations, they are hardware independent so VPC
images can move between machines with no problems.

I run windows scripts to zip up the VPC disk images at end of day and
copy them to a safe directory on my laptop (available for immediate
extraction if I mess up) and also to a backup server. These are copied
to data keys, committed weekly to DVD and a spare copy sent to my
folks, who have a copy of virtual PC loaded, in case of disaster.

Incidentally, two weeks ago I had to send my laptop (which has all my
development work) off for repair. With VPC I was up and running on a
spare laptop in under 2 hours :)

VPC rocks. Even if it is now owned by Microsoft.

Brian.
