That is correct - at least for me.

Yes, and what is truly critical for me I can backup easily myself. Without exposing it online.
The sheer volume of my digital photos and music makes MY local backups quite large and unwieldy. Presently I backup all to an external drive, plus I make two sets of DVDs (currently 8 DVDs per backup set): one set is stored locally in my office. I keep them in a Disc Stakka unit by Imation. The other I drop off at my bank - I had a "free" safe deposit box with my accounts there that was not being used otherwise.
As I said, the critical info can easily fit on one DVD. So Carbonite is certainly worth a try for me.
