Time Machine: replaced with CrashPlan

Why not use both (as I do)? Local backup is faster; remote backup is ostensibly safer from disaster. Oh, and Time Machine is invaluable if you're upgrading your boot drive or are surrendering your Mac to AppleCare.

Or you can time machine to a linux machine that does remote backups. That's my strategy.
