I'm pretty simplistic about it and use mozy. My computers are backed up automatically and I don't spend any time thinking about it. The two times there was a failure of their data base on my machine getting corrupted, they were able to recover everything quickly. When we returned to NM after two months away, I found both a crashed disk and a hardware failure the backup disk on my wife's computer, both of which were powered down while we were away. A couple of clicks on the mozy site restored her whole disk. It's worth $150 a year.
