yes, but my point was that they're all choices we all already
make, voluntarily:  some things might go under change control,
and/or we rsync to another server for redundancy.  some things we
back up compulsively onto a USB stick we carry in our pocket. 
some things we keep around, but don't back up.  some things we
download into /tmp, because we don't care if it lasts past a
reboot.  all choices regarding the importance of our data.

a data management UI must make these sorts of choices transparent
and easy.
