I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford
Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges; When the Republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous. - Publius Cornelius Tacitus

Jadun, a 24-year-old college student from Youngstown, Ohio, created World Backup Day in 2011 when he and others started talking on the Reddit Web community about how insane it was that most folks rarely back up their precious stuff.
"It was close to April 1," he says. "I thought it would be kind of funny to have a World Backup Day before April Fool's. You know ... back up before someone plays a prank on you."

It's also a good idea to verify your backups, not being able to restore your files from a backup just adds insult to injury. Consider offsite storage of a copy of your current backups, with what looks like another bad wildfire season coming having a copy of your important data in another region of the country or maybe just down the hill will be well worth it.
