One option you didn't mention is using a remote server to backup to
(with PCbackup or rdiff-backup or similar tool). Yes, that kind of
service costs some money, but the advantages are:

- it can be completely automated. No more forgotten backups

- it can easily be run every day (or every hour if you really want to)

- the backups are held offsite

Not the answer for everyone, but, as I say, worth considering.
