Most people never made proper backups.

With the price of tape drives and tapes it's no wonder.

But with HDDs being cheap it's at least economically less painful to be 
able to make snapshot-type backups using hard links and rsync - either 
using the ready-rolled rsnapshot tool or a DIY equivalent. Mine has saved 
me anguish umpteen times already (e.g. stupid things like firefox on 
SWMBOs laptop arbitrarily deciding that I didn't want messages over 30 
days old in any of the folders I visited ... grrr!).

But I really should have the backups off-site from the main system :-|
