My backups, and I'm just a lowly student, involve two 1tb drives locally, remote backup to a server 250 miles away and a hard drive in a fire proof safe.

All of the off-site backups are done over a domestic 2mb down 256kb up Virgin line (static IP is free so long as you don't reboot your 1 port supplied router), and can be done for under £500 with no problems, exc the two broadband connections.

This may seem extreme, but then you consider that my Dell Precision laptops have had no less than five hard drive deaths in two years and you see that this is sensible, and infact not even fully prepared as far as I am concerned - I need some more hard drives and another safe in a different location from the first - I have already had a collage coursework backup go down due to firemen hosing a server.
