Yes. We do at that. And I can assure you that if any of the digital photographs on my machines
were important to me, I would back up them up. But the attic full of dusty boxes full of thousands of rotting photographs that I've never visited once in decades has taught me that perhaps my definition of "important" needed to change. Things (real or virtual) are only important to me if I use them on a regular basis.
