It is extremely unreliable, and problems are cumulative in it, and it's a waste of 
disk space, and simply doesn't cover enough of the potential problems that can happen. 
I've always used disk imaging (currently Acronis), others use Erunt which backs up 
the registry.
A well designed disk setup, can allow you to recover fairly easily as long as two 
hard drives don't die simultaneously. Just earlier this week, I was able to return 
my ex's system to normal, despite the fact that her mobo had died, and someone else 
had installed a new XP for her... fortunately they selected the correct partition. 
Since her system hadn't been backed up in three years, it took some time for me to 
bring everything up to date, but what was really important to her that all of her 
data was still in tact, it was automatically backed up weekly.
