A bullet-proof backup strategy relies on multiple locations for your data. A cloud location should only SUPPLEMENT your strategy.
If you are really paranoid (like me): 1. Undelete and versioning: Time Machine 2. Local archiving: spare hard drive just to get stuff off your main computer but you don't want to throw away 3. Minor disaster recovery (hard drive dies): Nightly clone 4. Major disaster recovery (fire, tornado, theft): Cloud backup And for extreme security you can double up on any of these. For instance, I have several RAID drives that mirror the same data to two hard drives simultaneously that occupy key positions in my strategy. (I do have two cloud services, but for different content.) Adjust strategy to suit your needs. j.
