For private persons I suggest to make weekly backup, companies SHOULD do a daily backup! A good day to make weekly backups is certainly on the weekend for private persons; Over Twitter I give a reminder through the hashtag <===> #FSCD <===> which means <===> Friday Security Check Day <===> where YOU will find useful tips for BEST protection, backup included! Follow that hashtag, please…   With the low prices of external hard disks this will not be expensive and for sure less expensive as when YOUR computer is infected!! Example for prices (Europe): http://www.reichelt.com/index.html?&ACTION=446&LA=2
