More proof that you should backup your online files
Another story today related to the wisdom of backups: GMail user gets kneecapped. Apparently Google deleted a guy's entire email account without warning. About 300MB worth of crucial data.
He's understandably upset, but how will Google be held accountable? The bottom line is that you have to be responsible for your own backups. (It's especially important to remember this since it looks like Google is planning their "GDrive" online backup service. What happens when they lose not just your email, but all your data too?)
UPDATE: Looks like Amazon is starting their own service too. I can't find anything on their web page indicating their liability for lost files.
UPDATE: Jeremy Zawodny has some thoughts on the subject. Can't say I agree with him though; why's Amazon so much better than Google?

Easily backup all your music and video files and photos and access them with just a few clicks. Share photos, videos and documents by creating links and then emailing them to other users. You will have full control of the shared data, if you select options like password protection so that users you know will share the resource.
