I backup my calibre libraries and configuration folder to external storage once per week. If you don't mind leaving your computer on, scheduled tasks can make life much easier.

For the record, File History appears to take the incremental backup approach, checking for any changes in all monitored files every hour (or more often, if requested).

The issue with incremental backups is that they can be a pain to restore since you need to start with the first full backup and then add the incremental backups one after the other. If one gets damaged, you have problems. That's why a weekly full backup and then 6 incremental backups is what I prefer for work.
