Depends how many routes and interfaces you have configured. With five NICs and dozens of routes I find the backup command quite useful. I have it take automatic monthly backups and then quarterly I'll copy the latest monthly backup off of the server. My routes/NICs don't change that often, so even losing three month's worth of changes is ok (most likely I didn't change anything in the last three months). Since using the backup command is so quick and easy, why not?
