CCC can archive old stuff.  As well, it is a more flexible tool.
I've never asked for support on either one, but Mike Bombich's
(CCC) web site is far more informative - lots of good info there.

> At what frequency are the incrementals reasonably applied?  (daily?)

One can never have too many backups.  I do them daily, and then for
things that require a lot of work, several times a day.  I am not
(currently, anyway) using time machine.

I like DVD-RAM.  Great defect management, does reads after writes,
etc.  The only problem now is they seem to be going the way of the
floppy disk, M/O, etc.  Panasonic will no longer sell me media -
they haven't said so, but I'm guessing they're no longer making
them.  They stopped doing the drives a few years ago.

With plain optical media, I always make two copies.....
