Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you people, it's almost as bad as downloading malware infested torrents and ruining your OS.

If you don't use chink shit that breaks after a month you will have no problem. If you take care of your shit it has no reason to break.

I deal with this everyday. Someone you trusted at some point or another gets a handle on your stuff and trashes it. Especially with cloud services.
You'd think redundant backups is crazy, but for business owners it's essential. For baby crazed women it's their life.
Work in standard tech support. You'll understand.

Iso files.
HD anime.
Partition images/backups.
Temporary files.
Do I need to go on?
Stop talking out of your ass.

When data has the same guarantees and protections as money, I'll trust le cloud. It clearly doesn't, as we've seen with basically every security breach ever, where people are basically told "oh well".
I backup to an external that lives in my safety deposit box.

I had photoshop files as big as 4GB that I've done for my work.

I thought SSD are much more prone to dying? can someone clear this up for me
>>55101857
Most likely after you die though, so not a big problem.

They aren't more prone to dying, if anything they are less prone, the issue really is when an HDD dies you generally get some warning, bad sectors, long spin up time, etc. And can potentially save the data by moving it to another drive before the drive dies.
When an SSD fails it's pretty much fucked for good. No warning signs particularly.

You make it sound like drives cannot fail unexpectedly.
You also make it sound like weekly backups are backing up everything and not just changes since last week.

My first HDD death was a head crash within four months of purchasing it.
2x 4 tb Western digital reds
No raid
Backup to multiple external hard drive daily
Backup to off-site external hard drives weekly
The drives contain my work as a photographer which expands daily in the amount of hundreds of megabytes. Have to extend soon.

>accidental housefires can't happen
I don't backup pirate shit, but absolutely I backup client projects and do database dumps. Trusting hard drives is fucking stupid. They're man made, and even worse, southeast asian man made.
>>55101677
I keep all my data stored on ramdisk. Very fast. Nothing can happen to me.

1/4 fell for the NAS with RAID meme.
1/4 only play games on their PC and don't need backup.
1/4 don't care.
1/4 are too poor.
