Whats your time worth? Disaster Recovery is not a fun time.
There are 3rd party products out there that will make life
a lot easier for you. There are some folks that think they
are a waste of time and money, when you can roll-your-own.
Thats all true till you lose data, have a hard drive crash,
have data stolen, the list goes on.

My hats off to you for awareness of the potential problems.
When evaluating what your data is worth, a good reliable
time-tested backup and crash recovery product should be reconsidered.
They really are not that expensive considering their benefits.

3rd party solution over what comes with the OS.
