Of course clouds can and have lost data.
if you're going to bash the cloud because of a potential data loss, you have to *also* bash hard drives for the same issue.
and you aren't.
keep in mind that the cloud is *less* likely to have an issue than a local hard drive because reliability is what keeps the service in business. nobody is going to want to use an unreliable service.
It's not so bad when it's only a backup of what you have on the disk but some commercial cloud software is used both to store data and run software. That is your computer is merely a remote terminal for somebody elses computer system up in the sky.they likely have better backups than most people do.
If that type of cloud goes down fatally you have suffered an irrevocable loss. Lets hope _they_ have a bullet proof backup.
