1. Place desired data to back up on a drive (which may be network attached).

2. Clone said drive to an external drive. Detach and lock it in a water/fireproof box when not in use.

3. Swap external drive with another that is stored off site every week or two.

4. Swap with yet another off site external drive less often (a few months).

No test to ensure proper copy?
