Lack of working backups. It's appalling how many people depend on systems with no backups.

Forget ransomware and other exotic attacks, what happens if after 7 years your hard drive decides to die on you?

I don't know. The backup is the first thing that needs to be setup and tested when you buy a computer. Windows and Mac have build-in systems for point-in-time backups and linux offers more than a few solutions.

Backup, backup and backup again :-)
