IMHO, backups are even more necessary on Mac. Apple has has the fussiest file systems in my experience and of all of the backups I keep in my house my wife's Mac backups are the only ones I've ever had to really use. Three times now over the past 10 or so years. Just one day she opens the lid and gets a grey screen with a sad Mac and I know that just like last time the repair options won't do squat.
