It might be an hours time of work, directly speaking. But if this happened in the middle of a major project, say a 2 hour opera with full orchestra and you already have more than an hour's music input, I'd be more then a little worried of it happening again. Adding that kind of tension to what may already be a difficult situation I can do without.
I don't get it: If I have a backup from yesterday, why would any more than the work from today get lost? It makes no difference whether I already have half the opera done, I will never loose any more than what I did since I last backed up to the external drives. When I am working on a project like an opera I will _always_ backup after a days work, sometimes more often.
It's exactly the same if your HD crashes, and anyone working with computers should know that data is not safe.
I am sometimes amazed how much people trust computers. You can't. In the end it makes no difference whether the software or the hardware fails, data will get lost, and you better have a backup somewhere. Better have several.
And one thing is for sure: Both software and hardware will fail. It might happen today or in ten years, but it will happen.
