A full restore might take a chunk of your life. You can do a full-backup over a period of weeks or months. When you want your music collection back, you don't want to wait weeks or months.

For iWhatever owners, it may be useful now. For backing up a collection of lossless files from 1000-2000 CDs, it is not there yet.
