Until recently, most of our important data lived primarily on our devices. Backing up that data often meant choosing a cloud backup service. But today, many of our most important photos and files are actually stored in the cloud. While cloud servers are supposed to be more robust than home computers with flaky hard drives and smartphones that get lost or stolen, it also means that someone else is in control of that data. Cloud services go offline, get bought out or even shut down. We now need to be sure to back up our cloud data, too.
