The statement was made in another thread, that one's secondary reg is only there to donate to someone else, and not for your own use.
I was startled by that, because in my diving career so far, I've used my backup reg far more often for myself, than I have donated a regulator (for real) to anyone else. In fact, I can think of two times I've donated, and I've fallen in the water far more than that!
So I'm curious -- have you used your alternate, and if so, for yourself, or for somebody else? And I've added to the poll what alternate setup you have, because I could see people with difficult backup arrangements not wanting to use them for themselves, if it could be avoided.
