Remember the rules of backups. Backups must be:
Automatic
Offsite
Tested
Rotated
Quickly restoreable

Those are criteria I believe. We have people saying they wish they had Clonebox before because:
Their backups weren't automatic, and therefore hadn't been done recently.
Their backups weren't offsite and so melted in the same fire that destroyed the main copy.
Their backups weren't tested, and turned out to be broken.
Their backups weren't rotated, so the backup ran AFTER the hack, leaving them with two copies of crap.
Their backups were on tape and would take several days to restore.
