I do a full back up about every other day unless I have an install or update. It only takes about 4.5 minutes.
Poweful CPU, SSD, lean and mean OS?
I can do around 40GB in 10 minutes or so at best.
Incrementals are so quick. As I have said before, and similar to another poster (@F14TomCat) I use them as restore points really. With Rapid Delta Restore, they blitz on conventional restore points!
You've gotten several replies from several members, all valid, all factual, and all worth trying. Bottom line....the important thing is to have a good backup plan, understand your backup process, feel comfortable with it, and use it...regularly. Alternating different external drives, if possible.
Incremental backups are not worth it then. It only takes about 2 minutes to do a full backup and about 10 minutes to restore it. I also back my images up on a external 1GB drive manually every few days.
