If you want the honest end of backups, it's usually after each match (providing there's an internet connection b/c it uploads directly to where you see the scores and what not on FIRST's site), and then usually manually backed up lunch then at the end of the day / event. FMS backs up pretty regular w/o any user telling it to do so just in case of such a problem or worse. The way the system is designed and programmed isn't bad at all but the time frame to acct. for EVERYTHING and ANYTHING that COULD happen is extremely slim.
As a reminder if you don't already do so at the event thank your head ref, scorekeeper, fta and ftaa. they're the ones that take a beating when the field malfunctions and do their best to make sure every team plays with in the rule book limits up until its beyond our control.
here here lead position roles at the events *raises glass of mountain dew*
