  I've used something like this and while the backup process is painless
consider 2 cases for recovery -
  1.)  Your data needs to be recovered completely.  We had to do a complete
network restore and the time to restore over the network was quite painful.
Be sure you can tolerate the amount of downtime required to restore all
data and incremental backups.

  2.)  A catastrophic event that both severs your network connection and
damages the hardware.  This is more of a what-if case; I like being able to
directly handle backup media - stored in multiple locations.

   Other than that, we were happy with the solution.  Although a full
backup is painful, it's good not to go too far between full backups to
minimize the number of incremental backups to be restored.  The incremental
backups also generally don't track files that have been deleted for
housekeeping purposes.
