It's many more than that.

On what factual evidence do you base that irrational statement?

There may actually be a little bit of truth in that statement.

I do a "differential" rsync of the BBS machine to another machine on my 
LAN, and to an offsite "cloud" server, every single night in the wee hours 
(automated).  I do a semi-automated backup to yet another LAN machine just 
prior to doing a BBS update, about once a month.  Oh, and every now 
and then when the mood strikes me (at least once a quarter), I burn 
my home directory and /sbbs to a DVD-R and put it on a shelf.  Pretty 
confident I'm covered for anything that may come up.
