why there's no support for multiple, redundant backup disks.

An ugly PSU failure will be sufficient to kill the entire machine,
maybe a lightning flash...
In the GDR, Computer PSUs had SCR Crossbars at the Outputs, but they where
not cheap, more the opposite of cheap...

On OS X,
TIme Machine is fantastic. It's actually brilliantly simple; it just makes hard links
to the files for each iteration (except the modified ones, which it copies) so that you
have a working image for each backup that is indistinguishable from a non-incremental
backup (and the hard links only take up the space of an inode each). It's so simple
that I'm surprised I'd never seen it anywhere else.

Hmm, but it doesn't save your ass on harddisk failures. :-|
It is still a nice feature.
