For example, a digital picture needs only to be backed up once since it never changes. However a content management database may change on an hourly basis, and needs to be backed up accordingly. The content management database may be "worth" much more than say an MP3 for example. I recommend a monthly schedule as a good place to start for the average home user who is not used to backing up at all. Thanks for your comment. Colin. Hi Armen,

Changing use of certain programs can be used as the trigger. One might say that backup should be done every so often, but it might be easier to have them done when program changes are made.
