I have a friend who had a subscription to Carbonite and her Windows Vista computer crashed. She got a new one with Windows 7 and it wasn't a problem restoring the Family Files and linked data that were in the c:\Legacy sub-folders.
She did have a big problem with everything else that was in the Documents and Pictures folder because of the file path differences. They throttled back her download and it took about 2 weeks for all her files to be restored - she had thousands of photos. Personally, I think if you back up your Family Files and Pictures on an external drive and/or CDs using the File > Backup Familiy File, that will be quite good for you - make sure that you have copies stored off-site, though.
