Instead of making backups when you log in, surely it's better to do it just before you log out, i.e. as immediately as possible (and take the backup medium to another place, forthwith). Who knows what may happen while you're *not* logged in (whether the machine be running or not).
Myself I use rsync for my own and my wife's backups, following a recommendation long ago by someone on this list. Many thanks to that person, whoever that was.
