You would rather risk losing your data more keeping with yourself. This is a stupid post. Clouds solutions generally implement good backup solutions and with almost 100% availability to the data. Google has anyway restored more than 50% of the lost data.

- sibsibsib 16y agoI can't put a number on the amount of people I know who don't regularly back up their files themselves. One in particular lost gigs of precious photos during a laptop hard drive failure. A company whose mandate is to provide continuity of service is going to be more reliable than 'oops I forgot to copy my files to this cheap crappy consumer drive I bought'. Still, this incident should serve to remind that the so-called 'cloud' isn't invincible and we should try to cover our bases through multiple backups.
- nands 16y agoI suppose a cloud app is needed which would help us to backup data across multiple/popular cloud services. Chances of data being lost reduce drastically (almost to zero) if multiple clouds are keeping a backup of the same data.
