There are a lot of different ways to back up your data these days.  As I see it, the biggest problem we see in the field with data backups is that if someone even has them that most of the time they just aren't working and nobody knows that until they call a computer repair firm to save them from a crash.   They say "we set up these backups last year and they were working great - I'm so glad we didn that."   Come to find out they haven't worked since and the information may be lost forever.  Devastating indeed.   

Do-it-yourself backups just aren't safe.  If they are on magnetic media such as tapes or thumb drives or external hard drives - what happens when even a nearby lightening strike discharges a large amount of energy that wipes them out.   You don't need a direct hit for this.  That drive thats in the desk drawer - not plugged in?  Zapped!  We've even seen a computer stolen where the theif decided he wanted all the backups that were in the drawer too.
