To add one data point for that: the most cases (by far) I've needed a backup is when I have deleted stuff by mistake. Close second is some buggy software having deleted or mangled files I've needed. Last [1] come actual physical damage to storage media. Over-eager synchronization of backup won't help in the two first cases. Cheers [1] In between would perhaps be malware mangling the data: my platform has never done that to me, but on other platforms it seems to happen regularly. -- tomás
