I use the backup facility to maintain a historical version of TB that
I can go back to if I find that I have deleted something I may have
needed.

For a backup of my current installation, I use 12Ghosts Backup
(http://12ghosts.com/ghosts/backup.htm) which maintains a full copy of
my /MAIL folder once an hour (this can be set to any value) to a
second HD which I use for general backups. The program only copies
files that have changed since the last backup, so it does not have a
noticeable impact on system performance.  This second HD is
removeable, so if I am going away, I take it out and put it somewhere
safe, away from my PC.
