I think the answer is: it depends. If this is data that cannot be recreated easily and you have no other backup mechanism in place, I'd say that this is not over-cautious. On my machine at home, I do weekly backups. But I use a program called Replicator to replicate several key folders to another drive, just in case.

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???
