My Setup
Here is how I balance the two backup services...
I had an External firewire 800 Lacie drive. I swapped out the stock 200GB and put in a new 500GB drive. I gave it 4 partitions: 1) 10GB - Leopard - "Mac OS X Install DVD" made from the actual DVD Leopard Install DVD image so I do not have to go looking for it! 2) 100GB - "SuperDuper" The SuperDuper will be used for making bootable copies of my internal Powerbook laptop drive (Once it is released for Leopard). I typically have it run a smart-copy every workday at 9am... when I am at meetings 3) 100GB - "AltBoot" The AltBoot is just that... a place to play if needed. 4) 255 GB - "TimeMachine" TimeMachine Drive to have the hourly backups for versioning. I think things would be allot different if TimeMachine copies were bootable... but they are not. I have used Superduper backups tons of times to allow me to keep working regardless of which machine I am on... especially when I have to ship my laptop off for repairs... I just bot up the backup and keep working on a spare Mac. FYI - the now spare 200GB drive is mounted using a simple USB to IDE cable... to allow me to get content off that drive. Since I have a non-intel.. I cannot boot off USB... just read the drive data. That will change when I get my Intel. My backup setup will stay the same though.
