<title>Frequency of Backups</title>
<p>
- Backups should be done on a regular basis. Fortunately, it’s easy to set up automatic backups using <app>Déjà Dup</app>.
+ The frequency of backups will depend on the type of data to be backed up.
</p>
+<p>
+
+For example, if you are running a network environment with critical data stored on your servers, then even nightly backups may not be enough.
+</p>
+<p>
+On the other hand, if you are backing up the data on your home computer then you may need to factor in a few things, such as:
+</p>
+<list>
+<item><p>
+ The amount of time you spend on the computer.</p></item>
+<item><p>
+ How often and by how much the data on the computer changes.</p></item>
+</list>
+<p>
+
+If it is just some music, e-mails and family photos, then weekly, monthly or even less frequent backups may suffice. However, if you happen to be in the middle of a tax audit, more frequent backups may be necessary.
