End of each day Dec 20, 2012

In an ideal world. But I haven't done it for maybe 4 days - it's been a quiteish week this end workwise, which is nice.

Every day Dec 20, 2012

The files are on a server which is backed up every day. They are then backed up to an external USB drive every week. Touch wood, I've never had to restore anything!

Automated Dec 20, 2012

I have an external HDD (always connected), which backs up my files automatically at least once a day.

With neilmac. Dec 20, 2012

At the end of each day, sometimes even more often.
I don't trust computers too much.

On the fly Dec 20, 2012

I have a RAID1 computer which mirrors everything -- work files, programs, OS, etc. -- onto another hard disk in real time. If one hard disk dies for some reason, it automatically switches over to the healthy disk so that I can continue working and starts mending the sick disk.

Ain't that cool!

I also back up all work files to hard disk when I get the urge or somebody reminds me to, like I'm actually doing

Very frequently Dec 20, 2012

Every time I close a file I copy it to an external hard drive, so I know the versions on that are as up to date as on my main computer. I certainly don't wait until the end of a project to save a copy.

Oops, other Dec 20, 2012

about once a year if I think about it. Since most of my files get mailed, I can always retrieve them from the server if anything goes wrong)

Once a week, in general Dec 20, 2012

When I am working on a big project: every time I close the file!
