I hear what you say. I was thinking about photos and I wouldn’t go the same way with data where trust was an issue.

I nearly lost everything in a house fire. It’s only by amazing good fortune that I didn’t. There was horrendous building work going on in the house, such that it wasn’t safe for pcs, so in 2002 I moved my main server down to a rented shed in Broadford industrial estate and worked there or not at all. And this turned out to be amazingly fortuitous because all my valuable kit was down in Broadford when the fire broke out, and I was in hospital on the mainland.

If you don’t trust certain companies, then I suppose you could always get a server, virtual or otherwise, of your own and have it hosted on the internet. Or you could back your stuff up to a second machine of your own that is located outside the house.

It would be a mistake to think that what is right for me is right for everyone else; because our priorities differ
