I used to use Quicken. I kept four or five sets (I can't remember now) of rotating backups. One day I needed to restore. Every single one of those multi-disk (think floppies here) backups had a bad spot and wouldn't restore.The bad spots were all in different locations. It wasn't the files being backuped. I learned the hard way that all disks fail sometimes. Fortunatly, I was able to send the sets to Quicken and they were able to restore most of my data.

Nowadays, I backup to a dedicated computer. That computer is backed up to the cloud with Carbonite. I don't ever want to risk losing important data again.
