I guess I want something two fold that I can use as a storage archive, and an archive that family can access if they want to see pics of my kids or vacation pics. Any suggestions are appreciated.

My answer will be lousy advice for someone that gets paid for their photography but I simply have two external hard dives that I rotate. I upload all the "junk" for family, friends and shares etc to Flickr because I've had an account there forever. I don't curate it all. It is literally a photo dump that I use for my family. My Lightroom catalogs, raws and dngs are backed up locally then replicated to my external hard drives.
I bring HD1 home from work with me whenever I have a big photo dump to process as I don't usually shoot more than occasions and vacations. Once the newest files are backed up to HD1, it goes back to work and the process repeats over and over again with HD1 and HD2.
I don't online back up at all really. Just use Flickr for sharing purposes and to keep them all in one place.
