Even with all the back ups, your cloud information is still vulnerable to the Gov't! To them it is a Funnel Cloud! A belt and suspenders for your cloud storage

Never trust the government, it is mean and incompetent, but also vengeful and vindictive. Bureaucracies will chase your information and cost you every bit of privacy and savings until they ruin you. Then bureaucrats will start all over again. Power for its own corrupt stupid sake is their small minded goal.
Don't trust the clouds, they will look at both sides now, until they can get you... for nothing!
A belt and suspenders for your cloud storage ~ I, Cringely
by Robert X. Cringely 8-11-12

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak this weekwarned of the perils of depending too much on cloud storage and the general press reacted like this was: A) news, and; B) evidence of some inherent failure in cloud architecture. In fact it is not news (Woz never claimed it was) and mainly represents something we used to call “common sense.”
However secure you think your cloud storage is, why solely rely on it when keeping an extra backup can cost from very little to nothing at all?
No matter whose cloud you are depending on it will be subject to attack. Bigger targets get more attacks and something as big as DropBox, say, is a mighty big target, while that spare hard drive attached to a PC at your house (or my preference — the house of a friend) is generally a target too small to even be noticed.
Whether it is bad guys stealing cloud data or generally good guys losing or otherwise screwing-up your cloud data, once it is out of your control that data is effectively gone. To read the news reports about this story it is not just gone but also now someone else’s property, given to them by you under their terms of service that you (and I, I admit) didn’t read.
