Why should I backup my data?

Do you have home insurance?  Of course you do.  You’d be in big trouble if your house burned down and you lost all your stuff.  You have home insurance to replace your furniture, clothes, in case of something happening to your house.

Data backup is just like home insurance – it means you can get your data back in case something happens to your computer.  Imagine that someone steals your laptop.  Sure, you can buy a new laptop – but it won’t have your CV, the photos from your trip to Paris, or the film of little Timmy’s first steps, will it?
