The HD backup is once a week.
Takes me a few minutes, and that's just loading into Calibre and transferring to my reader. The backups to the other 3 hard drives are done nightly by automated tasks, I don't have to touch anything else. Maybe once every few months I'll bother with uploading to my online server, DropBox, and my netbook only when I plan on taking it with me.

So yes, definitely overestimating the time the backups take.
