Every hour on multi terrabyte systems using rsync. In the Linux Hacks book, one of the hacks goes over using rsync to do snapshots to another system. My NAS are configured to do hourly, daily and weekly snapshots to another NAS. Way cheaper than tapes, and much faster to restore in an emergency.
Poor man's method would be the rsnapshot tool in dag's repository. Relatively easy to do hourly snapshots with rsync from a single config file.
