I don't understand this reliance on keeping your data in the 'cloud'. What happens when the servers go down or an admin deletes your 6 years of photographs by mistake?

My start in computers was with so called analog computers - you set up problems with switches and dials and got your results from meters. I then progressed to punched cards and tapes for input which you kept so you could reproduce the results when needed.

The servers we have now I built and made sure we can backup everything that goes through them, not only on site but at a remote site as well. I also spend a lot of time trying to recover photos and documents people have 'lost' and that recovery has now extended to e-mail in the 'cloud' and we had our first client that couldn't find some important documents they had put on some storage site today.

I suppose what I am saying is, as long as you understand that storing your life in the 'cloud' could mean you could loose large chunks of it and it doesn't worry you then by all means do so but if your life means more to you make sure you have a local backup.
