IMO daily backup routines are not overzealous. At my last place of employ we did more than one daily backup (of the database), in fact: at noon, at 5pm and at midnight. Each morning the midnight copy was burned to a CD and taken off-site. We never had to use one of them in 3+ years. But there's a security in knowing that even if the whole building burns down, there's an offsite backup that can take us back to last midnight.

I wrote a Sub to execute regular BE backups. Everyday thru a month a BE copy is compacted (DBEngine.CompactDatabase) and renamed and stored in a different folder. Do you think that such a 30-day backup routine is overzealous???
