I'm never more than a few minutes (or in the worst case, hours) away from making or restoring a fully working backup.
Of course I have local backups also. But crashplan is good to have also. Personally I think once every two weeks is much to long interval between backups. Files I add are backuped directly to crashplan and then I also take a local backup but not as often. Really important small files are all checked in in a repository that is backed up by other people.

And you can actually send them a disk for the initial backup.
