I only use external drives as I like to be able to physically get to the data, that way I know whats happened to it.

Yeah I must say, don't have much faith is cloud storage, look at PS4 Storage, got hacked, like you Ray I would not keep sensitive data up on the cloud. Server, Nas drive storage all the way for me...with the odd external drive here and there.

To Me Cloud Storage is a security risk and I do not use it. Local backups for me on to a External drive. If I need ot back something up I have ready access to it and that goes directly into my safe. Thats the best way in my opinion.

Most of my customers use an external drive, and they steer away from cloud storage.
