I believe in #TimeShift.
I have restored from it several times. My ex was unaware of #6, and I lost a recipe #wiki and five years of stuff I'd done in #GIMP because I thought everything was being backed up, not just their ~.
This is reason n+1 why I have two external drives for stuff I don't want to lose.
(Somewhere in n is the time they bricked my new laptop by trying to run the boot image in a #virtualBox. At the time, it was <1 week old, so I didn't really lose anything except my temper.)
I didn't actually leave until they praised TFG in a way I couldn't stomach or ignore. It's been years, and I still have habits developed to work around their cluelessness.
