 I wonder how often we should back up our profile data. And will it just suddenly disappear if we don't do it frequently? So many questions my fren

 If all relays that you use disappeared then your profile would be gone. This probably would not happen in a short timeframe. This is why it's good to use multiple relays. This is also why it's good to run your own relay or download a backup from to time time. Realistically, your profile disappearing from all relays that you use probably won't happen. It's more probable that you would use a client that nukes your relay list or contact list and you need to restore from that mishap. This type of scenario happens often with new clients.
