"A picture is worth a thousand words lines of code"

"Better safe than sorry"

I recently learned that March 31st is World Backup Day.

If I were a cynical person, I might assume that this is just a fake holiday invented by Big Storage to sell us more hard drive space. And it's a tough sell to make backup strategies sound interesting. Certainly not "Ten thousand geek fists in the air" kinds of interesting, what with this pledge thing that they're asking people to take. Seems a little dramatic.

However... 

As a (very) small independent software shop, I need to have a plan in case something happens to my computer(s) or data. Malware, theft, fire, flood, laptop run over by a bus, etc. Even something as mundane as a hard drive failure. In a worst case scenario, how much time, money and anxiety would it cost to get back up and running? Could it put me out of business?

So, if this helps raise awareness, it's probably a good thing.
