I couldn't agree more strongly, Francisco! In fact, I have persuaded several clients to purchase the Red Gate Toolbelt simply by demo'ing SQL Backup from my laptop, and illustrating that backups take 1/3 the time and occupy 1/3 the space. And now with the latest version, the space is down to 1/4. Awesome technology. I especially love the feature that lets you copy the backup to another machine automatically. That is beautiful!
