Dropbox is not my only backup. It is my most convenient one...

I also backup to an external harddrive using superduper once a month and I
have a time capsule but that device is not as good as it could be (very bad
router).

My server side stuff is backed up to Amazon S3 daily at midnight, all files
(not incremental) plus MySQL dumps.
