The backup thing is really weird, I think only very small non-startup companies care about them a lot because they just cannot afford not having them. In all other places when I bring up the topic everybody seems to be lightly surprised and the sense of urgency just isn't there.

Personally I find this just puzzling, in my home folder I loose files at least once a year and I also lost whole partitions. So having no backup at all is no option for me at home. I cannot understand how no or unmaintained backups can be an option at companies.
