Well, backing up once a month is better than not backing up at all...  *I* run 
an automated backup *everyday* on all the computers on my LAN (7 actual 
machines (AMD Linux desktop , Intel Linux laptop, MacMini (MacOSX), 4 
Raspberry Pis, 6 VMs (assorted Linux)). Backups are best done as often as 
possible.  Daily is great, weekly is *probably* alright for most people.
