How bad is it to only backup up the SQL database files? (.mdf & ldf)

Hi,

I am a .net / C# dev with some significant SQL experience ... so I also do some SQL admin.  I have a client that uses an external company that have setup the backup system using Backup Exec.  Rather than using the 'SQL Instances' feature, which would backup the databases by connecting to SQL, the whole drive where the database files are stored is selected (.mdf & .ldf) ... I think that this is very bad practice and could of meant disaster.... before I voice my complaint... opinions please?
