Don't rely on your machines alone. As other people have pointed
out, a fire can ruin your backup in a few minutes. There are online
storage services, make copies of your backups to two or more separate
systems like this, and make sure your family know about them, and know
how to restore your files from them. Only when you have that sorted out
spend time optimizing your local bakup system.
