> Presumably their storage will be more durable than yours. Backup storage doesn't necessarily need to be more durable than the thing it's backing up, as long as it has different failure causes. (also, "my storage" or a replica of it could easily be rented from a different cloud provider, but generally, if a single event impacts my home storage and my email provider at the same time, I likely have other worries) > What other reasons do you have? Companies temporarily or permanently suspend users for a long list of reasons, often without warning. Companies are not safe from bugs or outages. Accounts can get hacked even if you're careful. E-Mail is extremely important and at the same time usually a small amount of data, so easy to back up.
