Suggestions for backing up code
In the old days we backed up to tapes, stored one copy in a fireproof safe on site and just in case another copy went home with one of us developers.
Nowadays I'm working out of my home office and I'm just making redundant copies of my code on another server. I realize that a fire or one well-placed bolt of lightning could cost me years of work. So I'm looking for suggestions... What do you folks use to back up your source code?

Do you have a safe deposit box at a local bank? On-line backups?

Sometimes the DBA

I keep copies both locally and on a remote server in a colocation facility.

Burn it to a DVD or CD on a regular basis and store it off site.

Well, how sensitive is the data and/or code? Many banks have a disaster recovery plan where they create encrypted copies of customers data and store it in other countries just in case their country goes up in flames.
You may not need something quite like that but I'd say use an SVN for everything and occasionally back up everything onto a DVD. Then store that in a secure location such as a bank safe deposit box. Keeping a copy on a remote server is a good idea as well.
