Brave if it is working for you and is reliable then that is all that matters.

What I meant by you already have web space is that if you keep the stuff that is on your local machine on your web server and the stuff that is on your web server on your local machine then it is in two places and this solution costs nothing.

For my personal backup I use Data Backup X with a 120 gig FireWire drive and also archive to DVD disks that I keep someplace else then my home office.

My clients use Retrospect Workgroup with either tapes or FireWire drives and archive to DVD. Again it is important to have copies kept someplace besides the machines your are backing up.

Setting a mirrored RAID is also a good solution, but you are fucked if your data becomes corrupt since you don't have multiple backups to restore from. Basically a mirrored RAID only is good from a hard drive failure, but combined with other backup strategy can be hard to beat.
