So, you shouldn't be using online backups like Crashplan?
- RexRollman 14y agoOnline backups can be risky if you are not encrypting them, at least for sensitive information.
- donniezazen 14y agoThey are encrypted but I remember reading somewhere that you lose your rights after data has been stored (not accessed) on a server for over 180 days.
- RexRollman 14y agoIf I understand things correctly, what changes is that only a subpoena is all that is required after 18 months, where before that a search warrant is needed. But there have been some efforts to change this: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/03/finally-feds-say-cops-access-to-your-e-mail-shouldnt-be-time-dependant/ http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/03/finally-feds-say-... Of course, if your files are encrypted, they probably won't be able to access them regardless.
