I strongly recommend periodic full backups (not justlast weeks changes). 
You want to know your files are really there when a disaster strikes. 
Having full backups makes a disaster recovery much simpler.

I normally do level 0 backups monthly (aka full backups), level 2 
each Monday rising to level 8 on the following Sunday.

Cheers,

Rob
