I do anyhow for my projects.

 From the SourceForge documentation:

http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=6840&group_id=1


Each project hosted on SourceForge.net is responsible for their own content 
and data backups. Please ensure that your project has addressed the 
following backup concerns:
         ·       Remind your developers to backup their data.
         ·       Backup your file release data.
         ·       Backup your project web space.
         ·       Backup the contents of your MySQL database.
         ·       Backup your CVS repository content regularly.
         ·       Ensure that key members of your team are aware of your 
backup policy and procedures.
         ·       Ensure that mailing list admin passwords and other 
project-specific security content has been retained in a secure location 
and is accessible to key members of your project team.
         ·       Important: If your project stores files within its project 
web space (which are flagged as world writable or are otherwise writable by 
the project web server) it is vital that you ensure proper backup of those 
files occurs on a regular basis. ·    Files of this nature are prone to 
damage, by their very nature; please protect them appropriately, through 
the use of regular backups.
