SMS never introduced centralised backup.
It just made it easier.

In every shop I worked in, we controlled backups, not the users.
In an post-SMS world, there is no excuse for user backups.

>just like they shot themselves 

I've said it many times.
If your apps people don't know how to compile, link, and run, why are they 
working for you?

Duh! I'm spending a lot of money to protect my development team from their own 
stupidity.

We should have a reasonable expectation, when we hire a craftsman, they know 
how to use their tools.
We should not have to peer over their shoulders and protect them from (less 
than) rookie mistakes.
