>>I understood Spots to indicate that no restore option was necessary.

Let me modify that slightly. If the purpose of the backup
OS is ONLY to allow recovery when the primary fails, then
backing it up for KOT purposes yields vanishing returns,
simply because you never update the backup OS once it's
established. If it gets clobbered, you can recreate it
using the primary OS. (I would take my usual one/time
precautions such as an emergency repair disk.)

The above is the case I was addressing.

If, however, you use the backup for another purpose too,
THEN it would be worthwhile considering its backup strategy
more aggressively. How aggressive would depend upon how
much work it would take to recreate it assuming the
primary OS is still available.
