I do backups with mis running. I accept that it's not the safest method, however what I do to mitigate this risk is to take multiple backups. I take one daily for seven days, one weekly for four weeks, one monthly for 12 months, and one yearly. I figure this amount of redundancy will always leave me with a properly backed up system :)
