What happens when your cloud service just pulls the plug - Insteon gone
eti:
Well, to be excruciatingly obvious, "da kloud" is JUST... just... other computers somewhere else. Computers routinely break down, and other people's computers are no exception to failure. No matter how "robust and fail-safe" a HUMAN designed system is, there is always that one circumstance that NO ONE saw coming, and... Er oopps ; bye bye all your data.
Relying on the "cloud" is a fool's errand. Relying on ANY media is equally so. Make MULTIPLE copies on MULTIPLE differing media formats, and spread them far and wide, if your data is life or death level.
If a flood happens (and do not think it can't), then even ALL those copies can be permanently trashed, even across all media types. Nothing in life is permanent.../ (did I digress?)

Jesus fucking Christ mate, why every comment I see from you is always: big wall of text, goes into a big tangent around the subject (stating obvious things that every one here knows) and don't add anything meaningful for the discussion.
If you don't have anything of value for the discussion just do what I do in most the discussions, don't say anything...

Teach me the right way, by example… I hope you can lead by example. It seems unlikely but I don’t feel shouting and cursing is the answer. That speaks more about you than about me. I await your guidance.

Sorry but I'm not going to play your game. You will put myself at your level and then win by experience.
You look like that annoying uncle in the family reunions who no one ask his opinion but he feels the need to say them. And I close my discussion on this topic regarding the subject. I've gone enough off topic. Sorry to the rest of the users in this thread.
