First, you don't tell others what they have to do. Which is a huge
difference. Second, you don't have to back up your all system, you just
have to back up what's matter to you. For example, if you program, you
can consider your programs are very important to you when you know you
can download again what you have downloaded. So, in this case, sending
your programs on gitlab, gihub or on another forge could be enough.

But, as DG/LP/NV/FR/whatever doesn't know how to use git, his only way
to protect the work he pretends to do is to backup his system. And
loosing four weeks of real work is, unlike loosing four weeks of
imaginary work, a real pain. And I'd loose anytime my OS than four weeks
of work. Loosing my OS would be a few hours issue, not loosing four
weeks of work.

And, I'll go one step further. I'm pretty sure his four weeks backup are
as imaginary as his contributions in every subject that matter.
