<rant>Look, I've managed to ignore the backup brigade trying to
impress upon me the necessity of backups for well over 15 years now
and I don't intend to take any notice yet. My data as a partition is
never that important that I want to spend money on it. If I delete
something important accidently, I'd rather spend my time embracing the
pain of ext3_undelete than duplicating it and remembering to duplicate
it. If it happens that little green men with ray guns zap it, then it
was never meant to be and that's that. The code I wrote is either
backed up on my website or sourceforge or github.</rant>

Worst case is the person whose laptop it is no longer has a working
windows vista.
