I've never come across a home-grown backup solution that didn't take up
way, way too much of my time fiddling around with scripts (generally fixing
things up when the underlying tools had an incompatible change or error
conditions occurred that I hadn't thought of), and probably would fail
anyway when the **** hit the fan, especially when it comes to making sure
that the data that is off-site is kept reasonably up-to-date.

Count me as another +1 for CrashPlan.Well worth the money.
