OP here, I think I said it several times that SkyDrive is not a backup system, despite MS trying to claim it is.

- harrytuttle 13y agoIf you read their terms and conditions they say it's not a backup system as well. People really need to read the SLAs etc.
- chris_wot 13y agoI think you might have missed the point of what the author was saying. Check out the screenshot he posted: http://www.edandersen.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/image.png http://www.edandersen.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/image.p... Notice it says that your files are "automatically backed up to the cloud"?
- harrytuttle 13y agoYes i saw that. It's true, but its not a substitute for a backup setvice. If it was, they wouldn't have the discontinuation of service and disclaimers in their T&C.
- pessimizer 13y agoBut you can understand how people could confuse "automatically backed up" and 'automatic backup', right?
- teamonkey 13y agoLike DropBox, SkyDrive contains a version history of your files, including a way to recover accidentally deleted ones. Did upgrading destroy the version history too?
- notatoad 13y agoJust because you said it several times, doesn't make it correct. SkyDrive is mirroring and backup - changes in skydrive are versioned, which means that if an unwanted change gets mirrored you can revert it.
