You can never back up enough, better to be safe than ... sorry.

i just label them by date and then upload them to my dropbox

That doesnt really help you a year later when you are trying to remember what each date means. I try to back up once everytime i finish a song.

I save all my .at2 and .it files to 5 or 6 different locations. You never know when stuff is gonna crash, die or fall apart.

during the week i back up my flash cart at least once a day sometimes more im wondering if this is too much for the cart to handle or is this a good habit to have?

Bearing in mind how small the LSDJ files are, backing up weekly seems like extremely good practice. Especially if you have back ups off site on dropbox or something.

I don't know anything about read/write numbers for whatever cart you use. Are there limited read/writes for GB flash carts?

Storage is cheap, but if you need to archive that much consider using some sort of versioning tool like subversion so you can at least know the difference between the various revisions.

that's a good idea. I'm going to start doing that
