I dropped my previous MacBook air once and crashed the hard drive. Fortunately, I had a Time Machine backup from only an hour before. I was either on Snow Leopard or Lion, don't remember which. It went without a hitch and took around three hours to restore the newly installed 500 GB drive with about 300 GB of data. I haven't used the cloud for backup, as I have maximum of about one megabit of bandwidth.
