That redundancy is probably a good idea. Backup services fail, media
fails, all sorts of things can happen.
Here I mix Time Machine, OwnCloud, and a rotating set of USB3 drives
that go home with me for an embarrassingly large number of redundant
archives, but at least I sleep well at night.

Pretty cool.
I only recently discovered the saveStackRequest message, and this has me
thinking about using that in a plugin frontScript to automatically
trigger rsync so I can copy versions to other backup drives super-fast.
If I get some time to make a usable version of that I'll share it, but
it's easy enough to make one from scratch (not much code involved). The
hardest part is setting up shared SSH keys between machines if you need
to sync across the network, but even that takes only a minute once
you've done it a couple times.
For any of you who haven't yet set up shared keys, John Craig posted a
nice tutorial on that in the forums:
