I'm preaching the choir here, but this article from March 2023 on The Guardian has some quite sad stories of how data loss had personal impacts on people. Not data loss like a bank losing all the transactions its customers made or an airline accidentally deleting all the passenger records, but people changing their region on the App Store and losing all their iTunes playlists, not backing up their phone because they didn't know it was possible losing all the photos on it when it gets stolen and particularly raw for me right now, losing the chat history of a dead friend because the app doesn't allow exports. If it's important to you, back it up!!!
