CDs and DVDs are almost free. You'd need two USB hard drives to have a
continuous backup off-site.

I mostly work on the same files so incremental backup on a weekly
basis is quick and easy. Though I have thought of getting a second
external hard drive and just swapping them back and forth as backups.

CDs and DVDs have lifespans, sometimes a lot shorter than one would expect.
With the larger hd's now at very reasonable prices, that's a good way to go.
sheesh, we can get flash drives these days bigger than the hard drives on
our old computers in the nineties.
