Sure, it's not perfect - but it is supremely easy - in the "people will actually use this". We bought a Time Capsule at home and in the office I setup the other guys laptops to backup to an old G4 PowerMac running OS X server (that's otherwise just our calendar server...). I got my mother setup with a USB drive to backup to - in the past the backups would happen when I talked to her and walked her through starting SuperDuper. Now she knows just to plug it in for the afternoon a few times a week and it works Like Magic. I'd still recommend doing an occasional SuperDuper clone though; if nothing else then just as a way to have an extra copy. Harddrives are so crazy cheap now. - ask Yeah, Time Machine is awesome!
