Is it a good idea to back up files onto the internet?

Answer 1

It is a good idea to back up files onto the internet.

Having multiple backups of your files and other important data, including videos, photos, databases, website files, spreadsheets and any other files that are important to you is a good idea as it prevents you from losing the data if one or a few devices you have the data stored on is corrupted or has any failures.

I have data including videos, photos, music etc all backed up on multiple thumb drives, hard drives and also online in file hosting services.

DropBox, Google Drive as well as a few others have my data stored and accessible to me when I need it.
