Well, sure it is. With one backup, your data will not be lost unless both the master data and the backup data is destroyed at the same exact time.nospamSandmannospamPeterN
what you've shown above is that it's vital to have backups.
And not rely on just one backup, such as the cloud.
One backup is enough, more is even better.
one backup is better than nothing but it is definitely not enough to be safe
Which is why you create a new backup instantly, like I just said.Sandmannospam
If you backup to a cloud service and it dies, you instantly create a new backup somewhere else. You don't say "damn" and wait for your master data to also fail in some way.
if your only backup fails, you no longer have a backup. that's bad.
two backups is the minimum but more is always better, with at least one off-site.
also, the entire concept of the cloud being a backup is itself flawed. that's not really what it's for.Depends on what cloud service we're talking about. Some are specifically made for online backup of data, like Backblaze, Carbonite or Crashplan
