Re: A perfect business plan

Seriously now, If someone is not keeping proper* backups of his data, it means that either the data wasn't worth the effort or that the data was doomed anyway, so no worries, eh?.

And how many users know what backups are? Even if the data is the last remaining pictures/video of a lost loved one?

I saw this a lot in computer repair work. People had no idea of what backups were. The data was absolutely precious, but they had no idea even that they could protect it.
