<title>Frequency of backups</title>
<p>
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.
