9/10 people I saw in the store when I worked retail repairing phones never setup any sort of backup for their photos. Never plugged it into their computer never setup Google Photos or iCloud photo backup, nothing.
99% of those phones with issues were out of storage space because the phone was filled with pictures that existed nowhere else.
The only photos I backup are my certificates.
Rest are non-essential and don’t deserve more than one copy.
I recently lost quite a few videos, moving a partition to the left and it didn’t matter enough for me to consider backing them up next time.
The source codes I make however, apart from having them on gitlab, I am also considering keeping a separate drive to store them.
With patches to other projects, stored as diffs instead of storing the whole project.
It kills me to see people losing their stuff. Where are their backups, for crying out loud!!

You’d be surprised at how many tech literate folks don’t properly backup even if they know how important it is.
