Most of my development is done on a MacBook Pro  with initial testing using vmware for Win and Linux.  All code is stored/developed on an encrypted disk image for security. Chronosyc is a Mac backup software (free updates for life). We back up to an encrypted disk image on another Mac in the studio. I back up every 3 minutes with archiving turned on.  All data from there is backed up (encrypted) to CrashPlan.

Shared access via vmware.

Shared access via vmware.  Sometimes I might drag the project folder over to vmware if it is needed.
