call me paranoid but i don’t really trust the cloud. i prefer having the actual physical thing.
That’s why you have the actual physical thing as well as the cloud. I don’t trust either of them as adequate so I use them both.
How many hard drives do I need before I don’t need the cloud anymore? Is seven enough?
None are enough. No amount of clouds or hard drives are “enough” in the sense that you don’t have to worry about potentially losing everything.
