Actually, my snapshot copies are only for files I think I may want to view somewhere else (phone, ipad, or other computer). It's not for everything.

I also use the Dropbox area as a *transfer* media -- I copy something there because I want to take it to my other computer. But when I myself get to the other computer, I move the file to its target location, and out of Dropbox. It was only there long enough to do the transfer.

And then I do make actual backups onto 4 different physical hard drives, in rotation. Just because they are so cheap. Not that my data actually matters in the least. But backup is my job at work, so I'm rather anal about it. About having redundant backups; not about doing them very often! (At home). I let my mac's Time Machine magic backup software back up my stuff once a week (when I bother to attach the cable), and I attach another hard drive & do a whole disk copy maybe once a month. But I really only have photos these days. And email that lives in the cloud anyway. So it doesn't much matter, really. If I worked from home, I'd do those more regularly.
