I think I did not post this question properly. Should I backup the  
whole system once and then not update that backup until the next  
system update, and then separately backup the user files, nearly every  
day?

The reason to do this would be that if you back up the System every  
day, would you not be backing up whatever errors have crept into it,  
thereby rendering the backup problematic when a problem occurs?

Does this make sense?
