i've found it useful, but i don't run it
every day. i run it before i shut down for
the days when i've actually made enough
changes that i want to worry about backing
up.
i also do a backup with tar of selected
directories once every few months just in case
something happens.
when i'm doing a new system from scratch i use
a partition copy utility after each major step
so i don't have to go back and reinstall from
media and/or network if something doesn't quite
go as i'd like.
