I take an occasional image of the hard drive to avoid needing a reinstall and use a combination of Backblaze and the Win7 backup for files. I'm very happy with Backblaze. Less so with the Win7 tool.
In any case a remote backup is a must. A local backup is also a good idea for a number of reasons, especially an image in order to get the OS and apps back up fast.

You download the software, pay your subscription and then can basically stop worrying about it. Although I've never done a full restore from it (I have about 1TB up there - for $4/mo) I restore files from it every so often and it's worked flawlessly every time (normally when I'm at work and need a file from my home machine).
