This should be an integral part of DAW enthusiasts, no?

As I get larger I have to backup more.  It's getting more difficult to turn around, ya?

I use acronis to back up my data drive.  it's the juan where my sonar project files are.

I do.
Only when there is a change made so it's not often.
Unless there is something special in whatever Cake may
be offering soon I don't expect I'll need to backup for a long time.
 
That is with my DAW PC...the one for internet I don't really care about...I can back it up
in the trash can and probably be better off for it.

Data about once a month, System same or with major software upgrades.

TimeMachine backs up my computers every hour or so. Saved my butt at least once or twice in the last 8 months.

I back up both my DAW and my general purpose computer once a month on or shortly after the 1st (makes it easier to remember to actually do it by establishing such an obvious date).  I use Acronis and make image copies written to external drives via USB 3.  If it was USB 2, I doubt I'd be so regular - with USB 2, the backups would take all night to run.  With USB 3, even my DAW which has tons of data, with massive amounts of Kontakt (and other) sample content, still only takes a little over an hour.
 
I keep the external drives in a fire-proof filing cabinet.  Probably would be more risk adverse to store these somewhere else than my house, but ... well, I can't be bothered.
