I think what he's saying is that there are only two classes of user who
are even aware of the possibility of data loss:

- People who work in IT

- Other people who have already lost data, who never had backups

Almost every other computer user will look at you blankly if you ask
'what will you do if the hard drive fails?' because they are unable to
grasp the concept.
