Oh sure, there's lots to say about the design and effective use of a backup regime. I agree with all that stuff.
But if you're going to condense it to a "rule" that will help people not well-versed in the field, that rule can only be "MAKE BACKUPS!", because at least 90% of the data loss scenarios in the real world happen because simple backups weren't made.
Don't make it more complicated than it is, because someone will stop to do it "right" and then lose data because they didn't just make a copy on a USB stick.
