I know about their blog post (theirs is actually one of the very few newsletters I subscribe to :D), and mostly it seems like a bit of convenience for a lot of inconvenience. A local backup would, well, require me to have a local backup for everything, so more hardware, more maintenance mostly for a faster restore? I guess if you have a lot of data to restore, that could be a worthy exchange?

You may also have data corruption troubles, companies may close all of sudden.

At exactly the same time as my local computer explodes. That’s what I mean, the extra security seems extremely tiny.
