Well, that's the point - keep it with you. SSD back-ups with high storage capacity are inexpensive (only buy it once, not every month payment) and are very small. 4x5x1 inch ... and a ton of data. AND, only you have access.
I'm always amazed in this day and age of everyone hawking privacy and ID theft, that anyone ever would put data in a "cloud" available to any employee or hacker ... all of the above reasons mlts22 stated are valid for NOT storing in an accessible device, so won't repeat those.
I back up about once a week, or sometimes more, or less. Important stuff, immediately. AND use two identical HD drives ... if it's important enough to life, will just print it and store it (Twice and separate)
Whatever did we do with our "life data" before all these clouds and storms and mists and other intangible storage devices came into out lives. The issue is - be careful with your information and products ... just like we did five or ten years ago, and we survived just fine for centuries without all this hiding, storing, and protecting. If you don't put data where a thief can get it, he can't get it.
