I'm not sure that it is better, but it is less work.  I have my account set
up to back up my system twice a day.  Thus is the event of a major local
crash, I would only lose a half day of work. (You can choose how often the
service makes backups.)  I back up to external drives as well, but I find
that I don't do that quite as often as I should.
