That's almost funny! My "timetable" consists of thinking "Gee, it's been a while since I backed up. Am I comfortable with the state of my data right now? Guess I better do a backup."

Unlike a sophisticated system, my backups are irreversible, that is I don't have the luxury of reverting back to a previous version of a file. When I back up, that original file is gone forever, so I am cautious about how and when I do the backups. Keep in mind that none of my data is mission critical in any way. As I said, I'd be sad to lose some of it, but none of it would be life-changing or even very inconvenient if I lost it.
