I don't know if it's feasible to backup your SD card with the raspberry pi running. I think to backup the SD card you need to shut it down, remove it from the raspberrypi and do it on another machine.
I backup my SD card every once in a while when I make significant changes, but realistically if I fried it, I'd probably be re-installing. I keep a separate tar backup of the weewx configuration, skins, customizations, etc on Github so I should be able to recreate it after a minor disaster.
