No because what backups? smaller business just don't do it at all and then they get burned. then the cost is reasonable but until they see the effect themselves it is a waste for something with a minor chance of effecting them.

Computers have been pretty much mainstream for 20 - 30 years so I'd say the chances of someone not knowing what it's like to not have backups is very low. Except for youngsters, that is.

Sad to say you are wrong, I wish you were right but I know for a fact that some small business don't have them and it is usually the opposite it is older people that don't realize how much they do rely on the info that is on the computer until it isn't there. The ones I see the most are insurance agents, I deal with them often and they have no concept of what is going on with a computer (I am often caught explaining what the difference between different browsers are via what the icons look like, and I can't count the number of times I have explained copy and paste I wish I was making this up).
