I guess I might be called a backup freak, but too many are the times 
I've heard people at the Genius Bar groaning when they are told it 
would cost as much as a couple grand to rescue *some* of their data 
from a failed but not backed up drive.

In my case, call it overkill if you wish, I perform two nightly 
bootable clones to LaCie drives using SuperDuper!, a TimeMachine backup 
to a third LaCie drive, and a CrashPlan backup to the cloud which is 
updated at 15 minute intervals.

I have, on a few instances, restored from a SuperDuper! clone, and 
have, also restored a prior version of a file using TimeMachine. I've 
yet to need to do a restore using CrashPlan.

Perhaps a a bit of overkill, but the total cost is small when compared 
to the comfort it provides!
