The evangelism continues.  There are quite a few folks writing articles promoting backups, and this is a good thing.  I have a vision of a world in which no data is accidentally lost, and if everyone learns to back up, it may some day be a reality.
Jerry Osteryoung, writing for his blog and a local newspaper, uses personal anecdotes to illustrate the need for backups.  He touches on some important points, including the need for a geographically removed archive in the case of a true disaster (something that is often on the minds of Gulf area residents).
Bill Husted, writing for The Columbus Dispatch, leans on the idea that there is little excuse not to put forth the relatively light effort required to have some form of backup.
Lincoln Spector, for PC World, writes an excellent article about different backup strategies. He covers a lot of ground, and it is a great article.
