How is the backup "stealthed"? I mean, if your system is infected by 
something and you back it up then realize you're infected with something 
and restore from the backup, you're re-infecting yourself. Trojans and 
other worms/malware don't waste time worrying about backups. Backing up 
a damaged/infected system is something that happens as a matter of 
course. The only way to "combat" it is to have backups spanning several 
cycles back, so you can go back to a point before the infection point.
