In the end, there probably is no such thing as a completely foolproof backup. When that giant asteroid hits your state, no backup is going to survive. So the goal, I think, is to reduce the chances that you’ll have a catastrophic failure from which recovery is not possible to the lowest possible level. My current strategy has at least three copies of everything, and I make the backups using three different backup applications, and one copy (the Copy of Last Resort) is stored off-site.

Knocking on wood…
