Why should you backup?

Not lose your data
Not waste money, effort
Legal obligation (taxes, grant data policy, etc)

Local and offsite
Multiple backups
Harward and software independence
Copies of raw and processed data (if possible)
Archivable formats
Incremental snapshots and clones

It’s not okay to “backup” versions of files like this!
