I run my own personal crusade for backups, but I do it unobtrusively, rather than an in-your-face approach. I simply use the following signature line, after a data recovery professional at HDD Guru challenged me to do so.
"A backup a day keeps DR away."
People often come here in a distraught state, after having lost a lifetime of their personal data. It does them no good to berate them for not having a backup. In fact, it's just rubbing salt into their wounds.
That said, the OP in this thread is foolish. A head crash will render any drive unrecoverable. There are some drives (eg helium models) that very few people can handle. Also, there is no support in pro tools for the latest SSDs and HDDs, and there is no solution expected in the near future. In fact, the data recovery business is in serious decline because the cost of R & D cannot be recovered from the dwindling customer base.
BTW, data recovery people regard Seagate as the least reliable HDD brand, so all the OP's eggs are in the wrong basket.
