So does one modify the backup every day, at the end of each day? Then
you're endangering your back up cause you're messing with it too often
and it may crash one day. It will in fact.
 
To get around that, you'd have to do entire back ups everyday, each on a
new media, and never touch them unless you have to. Putting these entire
backups on the same media is still dangerous.
 
I bet this is what those who are serious about it do. They have the
money and they have the men to spend hours each day backing up data,
perhaps even creating multiple copies on different media in case
something happens to one of them.

Then you have to go the high end RAID route, just like vallor described
in one of his posts.

With a 22T drive RAID you can backup continuously.
