Unlike many people here, I don't backup daily. I only backup before installs of potentially risky software (stuff that hasn't been used/tested much) and at points at which I think my device is relatively stable and "clean" (temp files, bad registry entries, etc. removed). However, I sync regularly to make sure I don't lose my PIM data.

To me, the problem with backing up daily is that you can only keep so many backups; the older ones are overwritten. You may think you have a stable device, but find out later that one of your newly-installed apps has been causing some problems. If you find this out too late, you will have overwritten some "good", although older backups.
