Exactly.

I have three backups of each PC at home (well, except the laptop which doesn't have any required info to keep).


    An always-attached USB hard drive.
    A Mozy (or Cox) online Internet backup
    A USB drive that I keep with me outside the house.


The only problem is the "outside" drive is many times in the house so it doesn't fulfil its purpose then.
