nospamOh yes you are. You are shifting from the question of whether or not cloud storage can lose data to whetheer or there shhould be a separate provision for backup. Related questions, I will agree, but not the same question.

I agree that sensible people will have their data backed up externally to the cloud but there are plenty of people with smartphones and the like who think their data (mainly images) is safely backed up to the cloud and who have no other backup copy of much of it.
it's on their phone.
You persist in trying to shift the argument.
i'm not shifting anything.
And they can equally well spill coffee on a phone.Eric Stevensnospam
I will follow you to the extent of pointing out the phones and similar smart devices are far from secure storage.
I've known three people drop phones in the sea. I've never heard of anyone dropping a desktop in the sea.
plenty of people spill coffee or some other beverage into their laptops, causing total failure.
But you have never heard of a desktop stolen by pickpockets.Eric Stevensnospam
I know two people who have had phones stolen by pickpockets. I've never heard of anyone having a desktop stolen by pickpockets.
plenty of desktops and laptops have been stolen.
There you go trying to shift the argument again. Nobody spoke of laptops until you introduced them right now.Eric Stevensnospam
I know one person who has smashed a phone when falling off a bicycle. I've never heard of anyone smashing a desktop when they fell off a bicycles.
laptops are often dropped.
You have made the subject the use of a phone for data storage.Eric Stevensnospam
Smartphones are subject to a whole lot of additional risks over and above those to which a desktop is exposed.
so what? this isn't about whether the device can be lost or damaged.
in the event there is a disaster, all the user needs to do is get a replacement and resync, either from the cloud or a local backup, whether it's a phone or a desktop or anything else.Assuming the cloud hasn't turned to custard in the meantime.
it's definitely a hassle but nothing is lost.--
