There is a story in Stuff today about a musician who has lost 8 years of lyrics. I have a little sympathy for him but not a huge amount of it. Why didn't he have all this material backed up? The cost of large USB drives is very low these days. In fact, when weighed up against 8 years of work, the cost of a USB hard drive is negligible.
I am still surprised by the number of people who seem to think that backing up their data is unimportant. I tell people, "Your hard drive WILL fail. Back it up!", and give them suggestions on what to do - the most common being to buy two USB hard drives and backup to both of them. I talk to these people a couple of months down the track and they still don't backup their data.
Just what is it worth to them? How much are those digital photos worth?
