of course backups are reasonable, but what I was reacting to was the
qualification that somehow backup is especially important if you are 
using compression programs.

For unrecontructable data, of course one has to back up

for reconstructable data, there is a trade off behind time to reconstruct
and time to backup. Disks are so reliable these days that the weight
often goes to reconstruction. THe question is whether compression changes 
the odds significantly.
