The world is full of people who have never, since childhood, met an
open doorway with an open mind.

In case the non-techy people in your life don't think about backups, you can refer them to this Sex and the City clip [youtu.be], which should get the point across. Frankly, with all the crappy accessories they try to sell you with a new PC, I'm surprised that a backup service/procedure aren't an industry standard upsell.

Apple does try to upsell you on a backup service, it's called iCloud and you get a tiny amount of storage for free, 5GB IIRC. Then they charge you more every month if you want more storage. I pay $0.99/month for the extra 50GB which is all I need because the really big stuff I handle on my own.
