I assume you mean for your home PC?

If your backup copies need to be kept off-site, then your present
approach is probably fine.
The price of hard drives is low, so you might consider buying one for
backup purposes
(either internal or external drive), and using dsync (downloadable from
hobbes) to copy files,
or DFSEE to periodically clone key partition copies to the backup hard
drive; if you keep
your data files in a separate partition, that makes this approach easier.
You can always continue using RSJ to offload bulky files you do not
expect to use in the near future, such as
photo jpg files, just to conserve HD space.
