We've discussed it before, but what are you backup solutions?

I've never backed up and I've been lucky, but I keep hearing horror stories about losing years worth of stuff and frankly I'm becoming paranoid.

To me there's a difference between backup and archive. I'm looking for both solutions.

Backup, to me, is what can keep my current digital data from being lost by a mechanical failure and/or user error.

Archive is the long-term backup. The 'keep this safe in case I need it in 5 years' kind of thing.

I think I would prefer a local solution, as paying someone to store my files monthly seems kind of odd to me, though I guess I already basically pay flickr to store my archives of photos.

Any opinions on Drobo?
