| 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.

| Not often enough | Dec 20, 2012 |
Thank you for the reminder.

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!

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

I save all my work directly on a USB stick as I go along!

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

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...

| Seagate hard drive does it for me... | Dec 20, 2012 |
each time I connect it to my main computer (a Win7 laptop) - which is about several times a day.
| | | |
Every few minutes as I work.

SyncBack does that automatically for me every 10 minutes (on a USB stick).

| 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.
| | | |
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!
