I have to agree with tompe about this.
The original mention of using the cloud was as opposed to SD cards. Not for the purpose of keeping your multiply-redundant backups, just as a means of quick access (or access in general) versus SD cards.
And cloud can easily mean your home server running calibre-server or COPS or calibre2opds in apache/dropbox/something, or whatever.
So yes, I would rely on cloud data, even after taking Linn Nygaard into consideration.
On the other hand, I wouldn't rely
solely (that being the operative word, perhaps you should've mentioned it
) on cloud data, but then again that was true before her
and anyway no one has suggested doing so.
