Gotta back up your important files at least monthly. I do it weekly. I use a password protected spreadsheet for my passwords.
At least.
I back up my data every day using MS Sync Toy to an external drive. Sync Toy only rewrites files that have changed and writes new files, so it only takes a few minutes.
I do a disk image at least once a week. I also do an image before I install new software, when MS wants to update my OS, or when I've made any major changes.
You can replace your computer easily, but you can't replace your data easily, if you can replace it at all.
