I personally believe that using the cloud as a sole backup is very unwise. As it is not directly under you control, it should be viewed as ephemeral (or even open source if not encrypted). A multi-layered approach is far safer e.g. local backup, off-site backup and cloud. Just my thoughts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CloudAtlas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65221 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107345 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
