I run BackupPC on my desktop which backs up all the pictures and music on my MythTV box as well as my wife's entire home directory. I also backup my Documents directory (The backup data is stored on my system drive and I use a dedicated home drive). At least that helps in case of a single drive failure. Then I have an external firewire drive I power on only for archiving all of my backups about every 1-2 months and then twice a year I burn all the critical stuff to DVD. I also use SpiderOak as my "off site" backup of critical files since they have a pretty nice linux client and 2GB free access.
