I lost my entire system drive, motherboard and video card a few weeks back.
Although I had all the media drives backed up, I did not have a system drive backup.
I have ordered a 1.5G drive to back up the system drive and all executables
such as FCP motion and of course the OS.
If you use Carbon Cloner (which I NOW will)
you will have a nice backup in case of bad things happening.
I feel your pain, but I learned from getting bitten to clone the system drive!
I hear CCC is better than Time Machine...
