    Main storage for quick access or current project files I used the mac HDD.

    I backup to two external WD NAS Drives (MyBook World Editions), manually after I finish a project as well as having Time Machine do its thing. I have one drive for personal stuff and another for work related stuff. NAS drives are great with a mbp because you can access it anywhere within WiFi and even access it remotely with the software that comes with it.

    Then I make an additional backup online to my web server after I finish every project just in case a plane lands on my roof. This takes a while to do since you have to upload it. I'll usually do this EOD so it can do its thing overnight. This also comes in handy when you want access to files that you don't have locally and when you're working remotely when your external HDD is inaccessible.

    Every few months I'll burn some DVD's just so I have another so-called safe backup solution. Just in case a plane crashes into the servers location.
