3-2-1 works well if you can do it
3 Copies of your data
2 Different storage media's (different HD's maybe different manufacturers even)
1 Copy kept offsite
This will require that you invest in removal media x3 but it is a very good Strategy.

Another vote for Crashplan - offsite, easy to use, "fit and forget" backup solution.
Coupled with onsite external drives and a home network drive you have a very good backup solution. Recover from the external drives immediately, rely on the offsite if it's all gone to hell in a handbag.
