Actually, you may find Gerhard's text on DAM
  http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=DigikamDAM
  http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Digikam+DAM2
interesting (or frightening, or both).
So the probability to have a disk crash is essentially 100%,
the only question is "when?"
(Hmm, maybe this would make a good login message:
"Your hard-disks may fail today, do you have a backup?")
