However, if you actually need to run it frequently (where once a week is 
extremely frequently), there's a serious problem with your system.  It 
should only be required when you have a hard drive failure (or if 
someone is deleting files outside of MythTV, in which case, you should 
fix the behavior, not the symptom).
