Actually, cloud backup services like Carbonite only back up your data.
They do not backup your system or applications. I suppose it is
possible to force it to back up everything on the disk, but it is not
really designed for that. You even need to tell it to backup large
files, like Videos, by including those folders and telling it to backup
that file type.
Yes, as far as I can tell, Carbonite is 100% accessible using JAWS.
DropBox as previously stated, is a great way to backup critical data for
free for up to 2 GB. I also use Karen's Backup to automatically make
copies of critical folders to other computers in the house.
To occasionally. backup all of my system files, applications, settings,
and data I use a disk image tool. There are probably a few that work,
but I use Image for Windows. If you need or want a fast way to recover
from a hard disk crash or other major problem, a disk image is the way
to go. Unfortunately, this is not automatic and should be done before
major changes to your system and after installing and configuring new
software, in order to have an disk image of a stable system. One reason
I like Image for Windows is that it can run in the background while you
continue to work.

There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any
real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I
am working on things that matter.

Carbonite that works with screen readers like JAWS?
