How often do you run backups on your system? (slrpnk.net)

Basically title. I'm in the process of setting up a proper backup for my configured containers on Unraid and I'm wondering how often I should run my backup script. Right now, I have a cron job set to run on Monday and Friday nights, is this too frequent? Whats your schedule and do you strictly backup your appdata (container configs), or is there other data you include in your backups?

I prefer Sonarr for management.
Problem is the auto matching.
It just doesnt always work.
Practical example: Looney. Tunes.and.Merrie.Melodies.HQ.Project.v2022

Some episodes are either not in the correct order or their name is deviating from how tvdb sorts it.
Your best regex/automatching can do nothing about it if Looney.Tunes.Shorts.S11.E59.The.Hare.In.Trouble.mkv should actually be named Looney.Tunes.Shorts.S1959.E11.The.Hare.In.A.Pickle.mkv to be automatically imported.

At some point fixing multiple hits becomes so tedious it's easier to just clear all auto-matches and restart fresh.
