Add off-site backups to that and it's perfect.

dvd and cd (those you burn yourself) starts to become unstable/unreadable after a year for low quality media. worse media ever for backups

External HD. They are small enough to carry around and cheap.

wow awesome idea! I wonder if StickFigureTeens.com is available?

I backup my laptop weekly onto a external drive and I have a older drive that I backup once a month for a 3rd copy.

I am partial the the keyboard method Ctrl+s

SSD RAID in a fire protected data center would be best.

DVTimes.... an external hard drive is a good way to go. I also back-up via Dropbox to my laptop so I have two backups for my most important files.

Also, Amazon Glacier is an extremely cheap way to back-up if you want to go to the cloud.
