Why don't you make backups?

Solene raised this question in Qubes Forum, and it is a great question.

There's a quote from Confucius that I believe it solves the question:

yq '.authors
     | filter(.name == "Confucius").[0].quotes
     | filter(.content
       | contains("By three methods we may learn wisdom")).[0].content' ../../data/quotes/all.yaml
By three methods we may learn wisdom:
- First, by reflection, which is noblest;
- Second, by imitation, which is easiest;
- And third by experience, which is the bitterest.

How make users care? They need awareness, to understand that losing data is a reality. Either by imagination or by experience. But second is hurtful.

Backup your important data.
