Um. Right. I wouldn't suggest throwing *everything* into a Dropbox
folder, but I put anything I'm currently working on into Dropbox and
it transparently makes backup copies for me. They're there when I
need them. Afterwards I move them out of Dropbox for archiving.

And this completely outside of any other backup strategy. I use (and
hate) time machine, and I rsync my linux box to my NAS.
