Backups are never optional.
Love the phrasing too - "permanently lost access to their data". Their data is not lost, not gone, not destroyed, oh no! It's still there, somewhere, but they will just never, ever be able to access it again. Maybe it's to leave a sliver of hope: "We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when, but I know we'll meet again (all together now, customers!) some sunny daaaaay"...
