Back up system DBs

I noticed the transaction logs for master and other system dbs can't be backed up. What are some of the practices of backing up System DBs as far as method, frequency and what type of situation would there be a need to restore from them?
Thanks
You cannot backup logs for the syetm dbs because they are in simple =
recovery model.
Daily full backup should easily suffice unless you are in the habit of =
creating many databases or logins per day.

|||Hi,
Backup the system databases once a day. I recommend you to take a backup of
Master database inbetween
if you add a new database/new login/ adding roles / changing
configurations/....
Take the backup of MSDB inbetween if you add or modify a Job, add
operator/alert, replications , Logshipping...
Thanks

|||I prefer to do only db backup for master and model. For msdb, I also do log backup (because of
backup history is stored there). As Agent set msdb to simple recovery at startup, I just have a job
scheduled to autostart that set msdb to full recovery.
