That seems like a strange statement. Surely it depends what you're backing up.
It seems adequate to me to have code backed up on github/bitbucket or some other external source hosting service (private repositories if necessary) but I wouldn't consider putting my photos there. My backup strategy: Documents and other- dropbox Code - usually github Photos - flickr (using a syncing script - it's tedious to upload to manually) Videos - local syncing between machines (various tools can do this well - rsync is probably the easiest) Music - as for videos What does everyone do for external backup of very large files (such as videos)? When you have kids you very quickly end up with terabytes of data that you'd rather not lose. It seems that anything (S3, dropbox, live) would get very expensive for massive storage.
