Computers are becoming more and more reliable. This creates a false sense of security when it comes to backups. We begin to think all our data will always be safe and secure and will never become irretrievable from our hard drive. This is not true and never will be. If you don't back up your computer system on a regular basis, you can lose your data any time due to virus attacks, power failure and hard disk problems. Backups are really a necessity, and you are responsible for making backups of your own data files as well as system files.
