It contains two pieces, a server and a client. You have to setup the server yourself. This server can be local within your network, on the same machine, or remote over the Internet.
I use it for full machine backup; and the two times I have had hard drives die on me; I was up and working [with all programs, files, etc.. ] in under a day. That included purchasing a new hard drive.
It backs up on schedule, so I don't have to think about it. It can send email notifications of any problems, with your running out of space on the repository, or when a backup is complete.
My backup server is on-site; I've never had the bandwidth to mirror the repository off-site; although you could do so in theory.
My offsite backup plan was to send a hard drive to Amazon S3 so they could pre-load the data to a bucket; then use a S3 to Disk Drive mapping program--such as JungleDisk--and set that as a sync drive within Backup for Workgroups. But, I haven't gotten around to setting that up.

I backup five different machines; and my repo is about a half a terabyte.
