Reasons for backing up

So we have basically 3 different reasons to backup:
- To archive our work (incremental backup)
- To restore our OS after a hardware failure (clone)
- To restore our OS after a software failure (backdated clone so you
don't copy the problem to your new installation and Preference settings
for all programs saved - if you know where they are. Where ARE most of
them?)

Am I missing anything?
