I do my backups in the cloud, which uses hard drives for slow storage but I couldn't care less about it. The terrible reliability and performances are not my problem anymore.
- jennyyang 7y agoWhat if you lose your job and can't afford to keep paying the monthly fees, or there is corruption in your backup? You won't know until you perform a disaster recovery.
- speedgoose 7y agoIf I lose my job I get notified in advance and then I get unemployment benefits for years. It's more than enough time to find a new job before I don't have enough savings to justify cloud storage costs. What if you connect your hard-drive and the data is corrupted or the drive isn't spinning? That did happen to me. I rather have people replacing the hard drives for me. Uploading corrupted backups to the cloud is the same than saving corrupted backups locally.
