The World Backup Day Pledge
From somewhere in it's history, World Backup Day developed a semi-official pledge: “I solemnly swear to backup my important documents and precious memories on March 31st. #WorldBackupDay”.
It isn't legally binding, of course. Which is a shame because the world would be a much better place for both to consumers and businesses and large enterprises. Like an oath of office, Chief Data Officers should make it a yearly tradition.
