External Drives for Backup

I am curious as to what "scheme" most photographers use for backup. I have seen incremental or differential plans and daily and weekly updates. What works best for you?

I let Carbonite backup the minute daily changes, if any.
Once a month or so I run a backup to external HD batch file.
If I go someplace, like vacation, and come back with a ton of images, I'll run a backup after I get the new images copied to the computer. But I suppose I could just add the new images to the last backup.
When I backup, I also include DOCs, Spreadsheets, PDFs, HTML, etc., not just photos.

I back up the entire disk. So I back up a lot of junk, but it’s better than missing something. And the software chooses when, which is frequent.

Before I got the new desktop with only a 512GB C: drive, twice a year I would clone C:.
The only "data" that is on C: now is user\documents. All the other data is on D: now.
I added the old computer 2TB C: drive to the new desktop as D:, and got rid of the old partitions. I moved the new computer 1TB D: drive to E:. So far E: is empty.

You’ll know it when you see it
