Re: Cloud storage for backups: How paranoid should I get?
Well, I run a bookkeeping business, and have data about/belonging to my clients' businesses, no way would I back that up to the cloud. If they do it thats fine, if I do it and the data is compromised in some way, it isn't.
My ideal solution is to back up nightly to a hard drive here on my desk, and once a month take that to the bank deposit box - exchange it with the one that is already there. It could actually do with being taken off site more frequently, if our registered office were nearer to us, I would put a fire-safe in there, and deposit weekly backups there too.
It's old-hat, it's a bloody nuisance, it's not a particularly techy solution, but it makes me feel reasonably secure.
