there is no need to specify the default case since it's the default case.

Who says? Where did they say it.

what do you think default *means*?

Eric Stevens
The important question is what do you think that default means?

nospam
what normally happens, without the user going out of their way.

Also why are we restricting the discussion to the default case when there are alternative choices which should be taken into consideration? Who made the decision to do so and when did they tell us?

the user can do whatever they want, but if they go out of their way to put one copy of data anywhere (cloud or not), then data loss is a real risk and if it happens, it's of their own doing, based on the decisions they have made.

it's *not* a fault of the cloud.
