Olivier, First off - calm down. This is a voluntary list.
Second, you didn't say that backing up the clients would annoy the users. Now it's an issue ? Perhaps the users of those machines who have previously lost data due to a poor (or no) backup regime would be more than happy to be backed up to two servers. Third, cool is irrelevant when you're talking about backups. The word you're looking for is safe. Base your strategy on that. Of course you're perfectly at liberty to call your own company's backup strategy "stupid" but I know some of the full time Motorola backup admins and "stupid" they aren't. Les is extremely experienced with backuppc and he's also suggested the double backup scenario.
