Talked to a data recovery guy at a diner last Thursday. Changed my mind about cloud backups.

He said he sees the same thing every week. People think their files are safe with Google Drive or iCloud. But accounts get locked, or files get corrupted on the server side. He told me a physical hard drive in a fire safe is still the best bet for photos you can't lose. Anyone here keep a local backup alongside their cloud stuff?

The diner guy sees what happens when trust beats common sense every time.

Oh man, it's like he just forgot that people will screw you over for a free meal...
