I wholeheartedly agree. What costs money is time, not the 3 to 4 GB of additional space on your backup system. Just do full system backups, FFS. Restoration becomes almost trivial with it. None of this selective crap that still requires a myriad of manual steps in order to restore only to realize that you missed to backup something that's actually pretty important.
