why? do you often hear for data losses in gmail servers for example?? even if I have the previous version of the lost data, it would be very satisfying too from nothing!
tomos:
^ We're going around in circles here. And you appear to be an expert in not hearing what people say, so I'll finish up by saying:
yes,
online backup is better than nothing -- when it comes to the crunch, you have a good chance of being ok.
You say your data is 'extremely important' -- it looks like we have very different definitions of what that means.
FWIW the thread has been helpful to me cause it makes me realise I need to look a little closer at the setups I do have in place. Because having any un-checked/tested backups are not a particularly great solution either.

Of course, you'll find similar stories with any cloud service, honestly. Some are holes in the service, and others are user problems. Check them out, and do what you will. With any, you're taking a non-zero risk. That's the reason that people have more than one backup solution- depending on how important the files are. And since it's your data, it's better to craft your own, whatever that entails. People have given you options and pros and cons. I think it's time for you to decide based on your own research at this point.
