The important thing is to have a backup stored outside of your home and also that your backup DOES NOT stay permanently connected to the machine (either physically or over the network). A USB drive or redundant HDD's connected to your machine will only protect you from hardware failure, a virus or physical destruction of the property will still wipe out everything.
I recently had to deal with a virus that encrypts your PC's files of certain types and then goes for external of network drives and does the same, then demands you pay to get the decryption key. If your backup drive is always connected to your PC then any virus can get to your backups as well and destroy them. Since we had offline backups of the files I simply removed the virus and overwrote the files with the clean offline backups.
I'm not sure how dropbox, etc work but I would worry that a corrupted local file would overwrite the cloud copy and you'd still be screwed.
