I don't think it was personal, simply a reminder that it always helps to have good backup procedures in place.
Even my managed services have offsite backups. Better be safe than sorry, I always say.

I don't think the best way to respond to a public vent is "Here's what you should have done instead". Responses might be technically correct but they lack empathy for the customer.
For example, let me give you a look at what my Windows hard drive looks like.
My important files are stored locally, on Dropbox, and on CrashPlan. Some is also on Google Drive. I also run an offsite backup of my own to another local Linux box.
Don't make this specific to Namecheap, @kelukelugames. It's always smart to have good recovery systems in place. If you care that much about your data, you will protect it at whatever cost.
So yeah, I repeat, better to be safe than sorry. Your mileage may vary.
