Personal (family) stuff - I have a 3TB NAS in a RAID1 configuration at home that my wife and I save our photos and videos to. We also back up our personal documents and such there. We are not super-prolific in terms of media creation, so currently I think we only have about 200GB worth of files. About 3 times a year, I make a copy of the drive and store it in a safety deposit box at our bank (e.g. in case the house burns down). I just don't like the idea of our entire set of family photos and videos in the cloud.

Work - I'm a consultant/freelancer, so for some things I rely on the client's backup systems and for things that are more my own responsibility, I rely mostly on cloud version control (github, bitbucket), as my work artifacts are mostly code.
