One must wonder how devastated some people (who don’t backup) would be to find their entire iPhoto collection gone.

Potentially years worth of someones life in photos, history.

I’ll admit to being lax over the years with backing up since I know I can find and reinstall most apps with time, and most of my important documents and such are online/offsite now, but pictures just aren’t that easy - they’re probably one of the biggest reasons I make regular backups now.
