I'll also assume you're talking about SQL Server backups.  On my
servers, I run complete database backups overnight to a backup file
named with that day of the week.  And then during the day, I run
incremental transaction log backups every five minutes to backup files
named by the day of the week as well.  So, if I ever have to restore
anything, I restore from "yesterday's" full backup, and then replay the
current day's transaction log.  I backup to a share on another server,
and then at night, those .bak files go to tape.

I like having seven days of data, because if something goes wrong, such
as a user error that creates a domino effect that goes unnoticed for a
couple of days, there is always the option to roll everything back to
prior to that user error if it's totally necessary.
