When backing data up, it is important to be efficient so that you get as much information backed up as possible.  “It is important to use efficient applications as a part of the backup process.  Most of the major backup and recovery applications are now designed to write directly to disk and offer added value through deduplication.” (Nexsan)  Just in case something happens to your hardware, it is good to know that your information is safely stored and can be retrieved when the issue is resolved.
