In my mind, SD, CCC, Time Machine are designed to be temporary  
backups. A substantial difference lies in doing an 'Archive' and a  
'Back-Up' of file(s). Time Machine does some of both but in the end it  
does not provide a permanent copy of your files. I do both, having  
experienced the occasional hard drive failure, it is prudent to be  
overprotected!

An end user can use any of these programs to accomplish either an  
'Archive' or a 'Back-Up' but doing so may take a bit of work. :)
