In case you weren't tired of the backup topic, I thought I'd mention a few things that passed by screen lately.
Merlin, from 43Folders, mentions his backup strategy, which mostly seems to involve external hard drives. I wonder how much of this process he's automated. For me, anything overly manual is likely to just not get done at all, so my holy grail is a totally automated solution. Also, it is probably worth noting that he's backing up a heck of a lot more data than I am. I'm focused just on backing up data, not apps (apps I can reinstall). And, he probably has a few more MP3s, photos, and videos than I do.
Michael Müller wrote in to tell me he's had good luck with iMsafe on his mac. If Apple's backup isn't doing it for ya, and rsync is too geeky, this might be a good option.
