Reasons why data can go missing:

- account compromised, wiped out

- operator error

- malicious employee

All of these have happened to companies that I have worked with, so no, I won't do a better job of backing stuff up comapred to google, msft, etc, BUT I would rather have some get-out-of-jail-free card if any of the above should happen and suddenly where there used to be data there is nothing.

You should approach this from a cost-benefits perspective, not from a skills perspective.
