Default Importance of Backup

This forum is for customers suggestions but here is a suggestion from our side. I have included a chat transcript with minor modifications to let you know what can happen to your business when there's no backup with you.

Some young boys make fortune online with their enthusiasm and youth power but this passionate Geeks forget importance of backup. Just read following transcript to see what someone feels after loosing all that was earned through hard work :-
Code:
