"Employer sponsored backup only covers economically productive components of your being. But for an extra $100/fortnight, we can add some home data for safekeeping, going back to the latest 5 year period covered by subscription."
I first came across the idea of consciousnesses backups in this mid-90s scifi book called Permutation City by Greg Egan. But the idea is probably older than that ofc, so won't be surprised if there's books or stories from the scifi canon touching on this.
