This is actually the part where OOTP performs best since it has an incremental backup by default. For example you are at opening day and you realize that you haven't backed up in several months. Go to the backup utility, copy all files then copy that file via a zip utility with a different name like league x opening day. Go on with your league and set a reminder in-game for a week, 10 days or a month and press "start backup". I've saved my two long running leagues multiple times by doing this. Sometimes I lose less than a week.
