Do you have a server, and back up that as your one computer or do a full household for slightly more?
Willis, did you consider the idea of just buying a fireproof box and keeping a spare HDD in it? (personal approach to backing up anything)

Yup, got it Black Friday special last year at like £10 for 5 computers. I've uploaded 4TB ish of data so far, upload is rather slow though but for £10, no complaint.
Not sure ill renew with their regular price mind!
I'm going to give a HD to my sister every week soon.

This is idea but also worried about theft.
Might give it a go for £10 a month

Actually, it was more like £8 or £9 lol
What are people using to back up client images e.g Weddings RAW files.
Incase your house burns down
I used to share external HDs with friends as a safe backup.

I go with a local trueimage scheduled backup to HDD, that gets rotated every month with another HDD which I keep at work. Job done.
Only risk is when both HDDs are either at work or at home if disaster strikes, but with the prices of external 1TB USB3 portable HDDs, get 3 and rotate, even better for several backup generations, failure and disaster nicely covered.
(I also have backups on the laptop anyhow).
Cloud is a good idea, but expensive and slow. Shame flickr doesn't store RAWs but I have high quality jpgs there too!

i just use flickr. it stores my jpeg at least
Yeah, I forgot about that.
Any photo sets I've uploaded are in full res JPEG, so ultimately I've still got something somewhere, even if I lost it all.
And remember you can upload them straight from Lightroom.
