A few years ago an artist I'd cowritten some tunes with was doing sessions with a well-regarded local engineer, and after all the tracking was complete on the record a typical summer storm came through and lightning struck his studio, wiping out his hard drives, which hadn't been backed up. He had to pay every single musician to come back in and retrack the record (plus eat the additional studio + engineering time); most of the vibe from the original sessions was lost and several songs never made it to the record. I've backed up after every single session ever since.
