Archive corrupt and backup (I use iDrive) could not find the file. Tried everything then had a Gin. Bad luck. 8<. I personally go for belt, braces, and then piece of string (cloud backup + pendrive for anything I'd really hate to lose .. the original is echoed to 2 PCs, a laptop, and archived for all changes to a synology NAS. Gin is probably cheaper though. 8>.

Why are people still using local or no backups?
I use Mega.NZ. you can get 50GB with history for free.

You want to ensure company going be there 5yrs+ and remain free so as not to have to move shed load data some point future The other issue is data breach, they have to be big enough to have the latest technology, but not be a target

There are some including mega that encrypt all data before it is sent to them using a key that is only held on your computer. Even if they want to they could only get at your data using the client's help. Which a government entity might possibly order them to do, but few others will have the capability. You can deal with that risk by encrypting in a different way before uploading so they won't have the second key needed.

I use cryptsync to do enycrpt sensitive information to Dropbox/Onedrive etc. Moving 50GB is a couple of days syncing at most so it's not really an issue. I've done that a few times as services such as copy.com ended. In any case though, I mostly just use Google sheets for things I don't need such a level of protection (e.g. P2P tracking) so backups are not an issue.

I do a similar thing by encrypting anything I care about and then uploading to onedrive. You can get an office 365 subscription that works out about £5 per month, with excel, 1TB of onedrive and 100 free skype minutes a month. After it expires your data is still there, you can download but just not add more. Very reasonable, if you can live with (IMHO) slow upload speeds!
