I've started backing up our site on the following schedule as of today:
Mondays @ 2am Eastern - Full backup
Every other day @ 2am Eastern - Incremental Backup
This is based on the traffic stats that I gather, Mondays @ 2am is about our slowest time of the day. So expect on Mondays that from 2am-2:30am, the board may be unresponsive (That happens when every table is locked and furiously dumping to disk) -- other days it should be a few minutes for the differential.
I'm going to sticky/global this for a week or so; I want your feedback in meta if this somehow thrashes the board as a result please!
(Coming soon: Moving backups every day to the "cloud".. Woooo).

Re: New backup windows
Did a quick reboot for a new kernel (Rather than let the board randomly crash later 
).
Any issues noticed please post in meta. Thanks.
