Good point. The backup strategy is at least as important as the tool used.

Using Bacula, I'm doing daily backups of critical data (which is not 
everything, but i.e. my business data) to an encrypted disk on an offsite 
server 400km from here over the internet.

I'm also still doing backups to external physical media, but on a much looser 
schedule since it's always some effort to bring them to my offsite safe. The 
best backup of your work is pretty useless when it's two months old.
