 One of the many reasons for using Linux is to protect yourself against loss of data and system data. Obviously nothing can insure you 100% against either of these, but on Linux there is the advantage of having control over the system to the point that if it is possible to recover a downed system, you are able to recover at least your data. One of the many reasons for using Linux is to protect yourself against loss of data and system data.

-This wouldn'​t be a chapter about system recovery without the obligatory admonishment that the best prevention against data disaster is backing-up your data in the first place. It may be obligatory, but that doesn'​t mean it's any less true. If you want to guarantee that your data is safe, **back it up**.+This wouldn'​t be a chapter about system recovery without the obligatory admonishment that the best prevention against data disaster is backing-up your data in the first place. It may be obligatory, but that doesn'​t mean it's any less true. If you want to guarantee that your data is safe, **back it up**. The sooner you establish a reliable [[backup]] regimen, the better.

 If you have not been backing up, then it's time to calculate risks. To be clear: you should not be at this point. You **must** establish an [[backup|automated backup system]] in the future. If you have not been backing up, then it's time to calculate risks. To be clear: you should not be at this point.
