Which rock have you been sleeping under?
none.
what you've shown above is that it's vital to have backups.
*any* system can crash, whether it's the cloud or a local hard drive. the question is when, not if.So now you are beginning to recognise that.
in the event something fails, you replace the failed component or wait for the cloud service to do it and restore from a backup if needed.You are oblivious to facts. There are many examples of data being lost in cloud storage.
nothing is lost. it's just an annoyance.
now, there will always be stupid people who don't make backups, which means they might lose data when something fails, but that's because they're stupid enough to not have a backup.So now you are acknowledging that data can be lost in the cloud.
that's not a failure of the cloud. that's a failure of their own doing.So don't use the cloud for backup.
when (not if) their local hard drive fails, they'll lose data too.Unless they have copied it into a safe backup. --
