You did not help when you said "a cloud outage might be annoying, but the data won't be lost". This can be interpreted as meaning that even if the cloud goes down the data will still be there when it comes back up. Well, it might be be but there is no guarantee that it will be.
i meant what i said. no data is lost. the cloud service can go away entirely and without waring (which almost never happens but nevertheless) and the user *still has the data on their device* plus other backups.
So your faith in the cloud is conditional on the user having a copy of the data on their device.
having one copy on *any* device is a risk.
it has nothing to do with the cloud.
the cloud bashers don't understand that.
