I have a MBP with 500GB internal SSD so all my data is in one place.

1) Carbon copy cloner > external 1TB drive, manually every few days

2) Arq backup > Amazon Cloud Drive (runs in background)

Mine is also Arq > Amazon Cloud Drive for online, but I also use Arq for backup to external drive. Online backup is hourly, HDD backup once every day.

Not sure if Arq has this, since I'm only running the trial version at the moment, but CCC actually clones the drive to the destination disk and I should be able to boot from the backup drive in case of emergency.
