This person lost 3 months of work because they couldn't be assed to backup their data despite having three months to do so.
Never trust an OS, or a piece of software, to protect you. Protect yourself.
3 backups: 2 different places/media on-site 1 off-site
What about 2 offsite and 1 onsite? That's been my approach, mostly due to storage limitations onsite.
technically isn't a vcs supposed to be one of those different places?
Yes, but the OP went 3 months without it and then messed up during setup
