Typical user behavior is to get productive, never worry about backups, and whine endlessly when their hard drive crashes. Backup software should definitely be bundled. It's a classic opt-in vs opt-out problem--users who have to opt in to install backup software, won't opt in.

Yes, true, although I don't feel any free linux backup tool is really up to the usual standards.

Also, automatic backup is a bit annoying for many home users, who do not have the required place to store their data.
