To secure your data you need 3 copies,
one on the system your using,
one on a local back up like a usb drive
one that you keep offsite.
That offsite copy can either be another usb drive or a cloud backup system like carbonite (which I use).
That being said quoting Steve Gibson TNO Trust No One for cloud storage.
So here is what I do.
