Re: Hands up...
Me. All my stuff is in there
Can I have your crystal ball? Mine was a bit cloudy and didn't tell me which cloud would be available in 15 years. Some people I know ended up paying through the nose when Yahoo Groups decided to delete files (giving nearly no time to get them off the service, too), but 15 years ago they seemed healthy enough for a free cloudy service.
Yet somehow I have no problems accessing key files I saved locally on my systems 20+ years ago. I also have what could be the sole remaining copies of interesting historical data from certain other public cloudy services that have gone belly up over the years. Go figure.
Good backup hygiene isn't something restricted to a local PC. Play with cloud or a single PC and don't bother to do backups, and you'll get burnt. Eventually.
