Since my kids have their own logins on our iMac, I don't tend to keep myself logged in when I'm not using it. I wish you could use a cron or launchd job to start the backup.

Great to see you dust off the cobwebs on technosavvy and jump into blogging again. I had to comment on this post because I use a similar strategy (though mine's a little more paranoid - http://braimee.com/blog/2007/05/13/my-overly-paranoid-backup-strategy/). However, I adore SuperDuper and will name my next dog after it. I'm also exploring the use of Mozy for online backups. $5/month for unlimited storage is pretty reasonable I think. I played with the home version and it worked well, my only concern was keeping private data on another company's servers. However, if you create your own encryption key when you setup your account, that should prevent the wrong eyes from seeing your stuff. Looking forward to part 2 of your backup series. Brian Tim!
