I image c: daily to my internal second hard drive. Monthly it makes a full independent image to that drive also, then I connect my external drive and offload it. I alternate 2 drives monthly, one kept off site.
I use backups mostly to retrieve earlier file versions. i.e., I accidentally rename a project template file. Easy to go into a previous backup and restore the template. I've used images to restore Windows after malware or file corruption.
