Re: [Avid-L2] OT: Archiving in The Cloud

Tough one.
The cloud will be there forever, but it might take your data as hostage, or a hacker might do that.
If you want to give your data away for free, go with it. Otherwise, be afraid. As always, if you don't pay, you're the product..
(And even if you pay you might be a product anyways.)

Hi All --

A quick "off-topic" conversation:  how advisable/reliable would it be to archive my work (over 30 years worth) in the Cloud?

I have most of my stuff saved & mirrored across 2-5tb hard drives right now, but as they say, eventually, all hard drives fail.

Does the Cloud ever fail?  Will my stuff last "forever," or is there a shelf life even on the Cloud?

Side question:  those places that offer a lifetime of 10tb Cloud storage -- has anyone here ever taken advantage?

What are everyone's thoughts?

Thank you!

-- Sol
