Ahh the embarrassment of looking back at our attempts to predict the future from the past. The truth is Amazon does care because they have made it their business to care about not loosing our data, and their business is as much about reputation as anything. I probably wont be moving my servers to the cloud for other reasons, but I do believe my data would be as safe or safer in an amazon storage account than it is locally.
Oh really? Well if that is really true, then why do they state this right in the Amazon Terms of Service agreement about security?
5.3 Security. We do not guarantee that Your Files will not be subject to misappropriation, loss or damage and we will not be liable if they are. You're responsible for maintaining appropriate security, protection and backup of Your Files.
Why store your precious files there to start with if they can't guarantee anything anyway? You are right back to square one and doing it yourself anyway. 😀
