My personal choice is a full backup on Monday morning kicking off at 01:00 (1am) with incremental backups at the same time Tuesday to Sunday. Those backups are stored on multiple devices and locations.
And don't forget to test your backup by restoring a file on a regular basis. I know I am paranoid, I just don't know if I am paranoid enough. |

I tested my backup 2 days ago, and I wound up with duplicate docs, photos, etc. Obviously I did not know what I was doing. It took me hours to delete all those duplicates. So, how do I test the backup the correct way? |

Tape ARchive. A Unix/Linux tool for created archived and compressed files. You can guess how long it's been around from the name. See a TAR manual page for more information. |

That's what I use to back up the config folder! The version disclaimer in my post was added because I found then that tar.exe wasn't available on earlier Windows versions. For metadata backups I have a slightly different script that runs 7-zip on high compression level setting. And for libraries, I prefer FreeFileSync. |

I just back up entire folders as they are, without compressing them.
