My web host does the backups and they do a nice job.

Only when I make major updates to the database, do I manually do a dump. Thank God I do that.

Once I was testing a pretty new gadget that I thought my members would really appreciate. But it ended up deleting them and all their preferences. Yet like superhero, I was able to restore them to their former glory - from the dump.
