The most effective backup is tape with OBDR, and you need a backup program that can handle it such as Arkeia or BRU. OBDR is OneButtonDisasterRecovery and it means that you write down an image to tape and make it bootable, if the system crashes and you cant boot it, just put the tape in and it will reover everything. The problem is that tape drives is probably the most expensive choice aswell. I'm satisfied with keeping a backup copy of my most important files on an other computer, ie an other harddrive. But as I said, if its really important to you, go for a tapedrive.
