I don't think lawyers are special or unique in their backup needs. I'm a consultant and this is what I advise most people to do....
Store files on the desktop, do backups with JungleDisk, and archive at some interval to DVDs. It's very cheap, and it's easy to do.
If I'm going to be supporting them, I usually set up a VPS (like at mosso) and set up NFS and FTP shares. This is in addition to JungleDisk because I know not everyone will upload all of their data. I have automatic daily and weekly backups set up.
For my own personal data (100GBs+), I use dual hard drives and use Grsync to keep the files up to date on both drives. One of the drives is attached via USB, and I only turn it on to do backups. This works well, but my data is less important than a lawyer's, and I'm willing to take more risk.

How about medical records? Tax records? Contracts? Like I said, not special.
