Erwin, how often would you recommend doing an offsite backup?

Depending on the size of your site, and your dependency upon the traffic. For example if you are making tons of money, and your cash flow depends on the amount of daily traffic and archived information, it is worth doing it every week, and if the incentive is there (as in you are raking in the massive $$$ or some other benefit) than daily. Otherwise every 2 weeks or every month is good, keeping your backup fresh is the key. If it comes to it you backup will be able to be put into play with very minor losses that can be compensated for without a large effort on your part.
