Anyone using a Drobo? If not, what else are folks doing?
I currently have an old Promise SmartStor with 2 disks in it configured as a RAID1. It's not much capacity, so I use IfW to back up only one of my PCs to it, and I also am using mozyHome on that PC for the critical stuff. I'm thinking about getting something larger where I could put together 8-10TB capacity and routinely get everything. I have 4 PCs in my home.
what do you back up your images to?

NAS setup with RAID 1 and 1000baseT (use CAT6) works well.

I backup to an internal HD on my main PC, then I sync that to an
external HD.

External USB, then copied to another external USB.

Both the 2nd partition on my HD and to 16 GB SD cards. It
takes about 15 minutes to the HD and between 30-60 minutes
to SC card depending on if class 4 or 10.
If I need to restore a SD card, I boot from a separate SD
card with either IFL or IFD on it since I can boot from my
card reader; then I insert the card with the image on it.
