i'll chime in on this one with a practical story of having my ass saved by SD: while on tour my laptop suffered a catastrophic hd failure - my internal drive toasted in Amsterdam the day before my show. i had been keeping a daily clone using SD and smart update, so i ran out, got a new drive, ran back to Steim and borrowed some tools and a table, ripped out the old drive and stuck in the new and reinstalled os x (i also brought most of my install disks and utilities) and used the Migration assistant to import all of my stuff. the whole process took me about 8hrs and i was back on track. it pays to be prepared!
