I have to rethink my data backup process. For the past couple of years I have been using thumb drives or what they also call jump drives. This is easier and faster than the old way of using CDs or DVDs. But now I am hearing the IT guys talking about the Cloud and using the internet to back up their files.
I’m not sure sending everything important to me to a web server someplace is a good idea. What if they get hacked or go out of business? Then what do I do about retrieving my data? I think I will stick with the thumb drive for a while longer.
