Not really that uncommon. Most of us have learned "the hard way". Been doing HLDS in one form or another since 1999, and backups have save my butt more times than I can remember, much less count.
I schedule/cron a script to 7-zip my game server folders - at least once a week. Getting that backup copy OFF the server - to another "safe" location (for something like a hardware failure) is bit harder (depending on resources available, etc.). But, my sympathies either way.
