My guess would be that a new backup copy is created only when the
registry has changed in some way, not EVERY day that you start your
computer. I do not know what criteria might be used to determine when a
new backup copy is made but I'll willing to bet they don't do it every
time if it's deemed not necessary, just to save on bootup time.
