as "simply shutdown/boot" -> no!

beside from the fact that i do not too often power on / off my
machines and the start in th emorining happens by drink coffee
for backup-reasons

i have all the time one 24/7 machine at home and EVERY TIME i
shut down my working machine it does a rsync to the home machine
of all my data - thunderbird/firefox as one example are not
really happy if you copy their sqlite files while they are
open -> menas your backup is inconsistent

yes, i am aware the this is not the workload of many people
but many people have lost some piece of data in the past
i never did because it is impossible that the is no recent backup
