Make it three cheers for Crash Plan. I use Time Machine to periodically backup my startup disk and I have two copies of my media drive. But I use Crash Plan as an offsite back up. It's less work and less expensive than keeping a third set of drives somewhere else and periodically bringing them to the studio, and it's proven useful several times when I needed to recover a file while out and about. An obvious alternative would be to set up your own NAS at a second location.

They charge $60/yr for unlimited storage. Their software also enables you to backup to an offsite computer located at a relative's or friend's location; this bypasses the CrashPlan cloud and there is no cost, nor do you need a subscription. The software is free.
