What's the best laptop backup device for home and travel?

One of the top items on my procrastination list is sorting out my laptop (mac) backup setup. I'm looking for a solution that works seamlessly both whilst I'm at home and on my travels.

Backblaze

Unlimited data backup for your Mac or PC for just $5/month

Backblaze has been my cloud backup of choice for the past couple of years. As long as you have Internet access, Backblaze will run seamlessly in the background so you can just set it and forget it. Also I believe in redundancy, so I also run a Time Machine backup to a local external drive. I always keep working files and assets in a Dropbox-synced folder, so should something catastrophic happen then I should have easy retrieval of anything important.

If you need 2TB or less for backups, these little guys are awesome. Velcro it to your laptop and it's small, unobtrusive, and you can have a physical backup with you whenever you need it. If you don't mind something slightly bigger, the LaCie Rugged HDs are great too. I have one attached almost all the time, but I only backup specific files, not cloning my entire HD.
