The ques is do you trust your data with these companies?

You never know what they are doing behind the scene.

 

IT show coming soon, might as well buy an external harddisk or NAS to backup your data.

It's safer and you can always assure it is not distributed around.

 

** Reason why I don't use cloud services for personal stuffs or having a facebook account.

Chances are your data could be residing in Timbuktu data centre.

The only thing I backup online are the photos. Which are done by FB, DropBox etc..

 

As for other sensitive information, always have it only locally.

Depends on how huge your capacity is. I will store very "crucial" information on thumbdrives instead. Since they are more reliable and less prone to physical damage compared to HDD.

 

There is a "IT Fair" at Expo over the weekend. but it was bulls**t. There are some booths for computers but mostly are household products such as hob & hoods/instant heaters... Guess they are just making use of the "IT Fair" publicity hoping to gain more patrons.

 

Good news is, there is a "IT Show" over at MBS this weekend 27th to 1st Mar. Which I believe is the "proper" one.
