Update what exactly? DSL is in constant development with occasional upgrades of packages so there's a high cost for the little benefit you would gain by including those kinds of things. There are tools (cvs, svn, git) for those who want software updates on a regular basis (for those who want to use development trunks rather than official releases -- which usually means source rather than binary). Those are probably more appropriate and are already available in MyDSL. I don't think including such a tool in DSL, much less adding in scripts to back up data by default, would be too wise considering how DSL is used (live CD with svn?!) and the resources that would be required to run those kinds of processes. That's also something that some applications (firefox, thunderbird, and opera come to mind) handle on their own anyway.
