You are on crack.  Backups are the user's responsibility, not the
software's.  Filesystems don't back up your data for you.  Databases
don't back up your tables for you.  Editors don't back up your files
for you (at least not the new versions).  SCM systems don't back up
your repositories for you.

If you want backups, YOU have to make them.  Stop trying to blame
everybody else and take responsibility for your own (in)actions!
