But you carry a spare tire, right? And if you have an unreliable car,
maybe you should have a bicycle on-hand in case you really need to get
to work one day and your car won't start. I equate that to having a backup of
your data.
The problem I've seen several times, though, is when an
application hides your data away somewhere. Itunes, for instance. My
brother-in-law has no idea where is music is, other than "it's in
Itunes". That makes backing it up pretty difficult for the novice.
