I agree that if you don't have what I'm calling a comprehensive backup, it's good and very worthwhile. It's infinitely better than no backup. But it's still a lot easier to do a restore from a comprehensive backup; and I've had hassles with the built-in because of repository problems.

OTOH, since it's easier to do a built-in backup, I still do those more often than a comprehensive backup.
