Well, a cloud copy can be part of your backup solution.
But if the cloud copy is your only copy, then it’s not a backup at all.
(Personally, MEGA is the cloud-based off-site component of my backup strategy, chosen because it’s affordable and end-to-end encrypted, so I know they can’t steal all my shit for AI training.)
Of course, off-site backups are a must, and cloud storage can fulfil that, but there are people who think that somehow using a cloud service as their sole data storage is safe and somehow invulnerable to risk.
Say it with me: “The cloud is not a backup solution!”
Oh, THAT must be what AI is for then right?
Yeah! Who needs data storage when you can just ask AI what your data was!

Encrypt it yourself or it’s not trustworthy encrypted.
Eh cloud backup plus multiple local backups works pretty well.
