Yep. 

One of the best and cheapest solution is to have two backup hard drive :
one at your office with daily or weekly incremental update, and another
one on another location. And you just have to swap the disks every week
or month depending on the amount and sensitivity of the data you create.

The advantages are that you always have an up to date backup in case of
defect of your main hard drive, and a maximum one old week backup if all
your system is stolen of lighting damaged, and your hard drives are used
and so tested every week so you're sure they are still running well. 

I don't trust CDs or DVDs. Even when it's correctly burned (how many of
you guys verify all his CDs after burning ? ) it's so easy to let one
fall on the ground and scratch it just when you try to put it on the
drive after a HD crash.....
