Any single backup is a stupid idea. Combine them, and you've got a great backup solution. Why would I keep important data in one physical location?
My house could burn down tomorrow, but I'd still have my cloud backups. My cloud backups could roast in a fire tomorrow, but I'd still have my local backups. And probably several other cloud backups.
If you put all your eggs in one backup, sooner or later, you're going to get screwed.
- earthboundkid 5y agoHe only reliable backup mechanism is starting a successful cult whose main tenet is that your data is valuable communication from God, so that they continually duplicate it. Anything else will go bust long, long before the heat death of the universe.

- earthboundkid 5y agoThey already wrote Canticle for Leibowitz.
- pierrec 5y ago"Anything else will go bust long, long before the heat death of the universe." As opposed to what? I think you've got too much faith in your method.
- 10000truths 5y agoWell, you could always alter the laws of physics so that a zero entropy state corresponds to the data you wish to store.
- 8192kjshad09- 5y agoAmazon just announced AWS Cult-As-A-Service. For the small fee of just $0.05 per Gigabyte per month they will store your data in three separate cults located in geographically distinct regions. (Data transfer charges not included)
- toast0 5y agoSeems accurate; I may or may not have resurrected and rehosted the works of a cult I joined as a youth. Thanks, Internet Archive.
