Keeping the data accessible is only 1/2 of the battle. Also assumes *they* do their backup correctly. In the early 2000's, before the 'cloud' was around, I had a website on a professional host. Their server took a dump. That's ok, they had backups I thought. Nope, two or three (I forget) of their backups were also corrupted. While they did have copy that was about 1 month out of date, I just used the copy of the site I stored locally, so all was not lost. What was the name of the online photographer's service that shut down last year with like 1 day of notice?
