Other than TimeMachine or another copy of the iPhoto database via Finder what do you recommend?

I would like to make some sort of a copy on a weekly basis to an external local USB drive.

I am thinking of setting up crashplan (free) and copy the data to another host.

What do you use?
 
I use just about all the items you mentioned. Time Machine is my primary backup, backing up to two different devices continually. I also make periodic bootable clones. I just started using CrashPlan as I needed a new off site strategy. I also export all my images to a folder on NAS about once a year so I have an extra copy of all the images.

I take the philosophy that you can't have too many backups.
