I use BackBlaze to back everything up to the network to guard against just this type of catastrophe. Sean, it looks like you missed bullet #2.

You have all your stuff backed up in one location, so if something happens to that place (fire, flood, theft, etc.) you are vulnerable to losing everything all at once. I think you need an offsite backup in addition to everything you have now. This could be as simple as a USB drive that you update on a monthly basis and that you store offsite (at a friends house, at the office, in a safety deposit box, etc.). there are many online backup services as well, but these aren't cheap for the volume of data most photographers have to deal with. Just my 2 cents! Cheers, Sean .-= ssphillips´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OccasionalDrivel/~3/3ylx16VfYc4/photography-workflow" rel="nofollow">My Photography Workflow</a> =-.
