This is the "excuse" if everyone using cloud storage. Simple fact is, there is no data I have stored that is that important. All of it can be replaced. Pictures, code, whatever. Not to mention a fire is very unlikely, but if there were one, if I were not able to put it out, it would likely kill me anyhow. Rendering my data moot. Theft ? well lets just say a thief would very likely have few dogs on him, as well as a couple bullet holes. Someone is always here.
