It really isn't.
OS X actively invites you to turn an external HDD into a Time Machine backup target with one click.
Windows 7 grew a less-prominent backup utility that works almost as well. I assume it or something like it remains in 8.
Linux has a plethora of attempts at similar solutions but none has become a de facto standard. I just use duplicity on my servers.

- nknighthb 13y agoIs this sarcasm, or are you truly expecting people to keep their only backups of critical documents on third-party servers? Not to mention the time and difficulty of a multi-hundred-gigabyte full system restore at typical American internet speed/reliability.
