This is a disease of GUIs. Most people are so used to having their hands held and being unable to make a mistake that when a GUI actually gives you the power to fuck up they don't expect it. I promise you, if this user was using the CLI, this wouldn't have happened as easily.

I promise you, if this user ~~was using the CLI~~ backed up their files, this wouldn't have happened ~~as easily~~.

That too, but it seems like this was them attempting to back up their files. They just critically failed.

Using a program that's not designed to be a backup solution that you are also unfamiliar with sounds even worse. Lol
