For our "internal" stuff:

* Monthly whole drive snapshots to an external HD

* Daily Time Machine backups to an external HD

* Everything backed up continually with CrashPlan

* All work stuff synced continuously in DropBox

* Monthly restore-a-random-file test to sanity check

Are your whole drive snapshots deduplicated?
