It's a whole lot more convenient to have a backup that you can't use than to be wishing you had one when you don't! :approve:

I disagree, at least in that context. Making backups is extremely important, but using backup software may be a wasted effort. Backup your info manually -- this is the best method for making sure you don't get hosed. Also, make sure you keep all of your install apps so you can re-install should your device need to be hard-reset.
