Works great till you tell them their internet access is through the cloud.
Then they think it the same term and it's not. Should simply BR called
remote storage and it's been done for years without a stupid buzzword.

The word cloud is retarded, let's just call it on a server via the

The whole point of a proper cloud system for backup is that your data is
