My philosophy is that of all the things that are important for a business or a web service - keeping your data is the very highest priority. Just about anything else can be fixed, but if your data is lost with no backup then no amount of programming or time or sweat is going to get it back. It's a good idea to just keep this in mind when you're working anywhere near a production database. backup, backup, backup.
