Question : Problem: Best Backup strategy

I have 3 servers. One is the domain controler runnig exchange 2007 the second is running Kaseya with sql 2005 and the third is runnig connectwise but the database reside on SQL server.
All those 3 servers are mission critical. I need to figure out the best backup strategy. I plan to use Acronis Entreprise 9.1 since it allow me to do bare-metal restore in case one day I need it.
The desadvantage of that is that all backups are done on an 500 gig usb device in the office so in case of fire or theft the data is gone. So I was planing to do 2 set's of backup. One full on Monday and diferential tuesday to Sunday on the USB device and this will help in case of a hardware failure. Second backup will be dailly on the SQL and Exchange information store and since this is the backup that will save me in the event of total disaster I was planing to backup those backup files in an online backup company like xdrive sice at the momnet they are all under 5 gig and 5 gig is free. Now the question I have is how good is Acronis to backup the information store without an agent. Should I backup the database folder? I know with Veritas id you have an agent you can chose the information store but I don't believe Acronis has this feature.
Thank you
