Adobe Strikes Again

I never save anything to the cloud except an excel file I use to quote.
We save everything to a Synology NAS, we back that up to a couple external SSD using Goodsync and rotate offsite.
A full offsite backup restore by Carbonite or other cloud solutions will take days over the internet...Carbonite used to even have a service where they physically SHIP you a hard drive with your data on it as it was faster than downloading and unencrypting...
You have to watch cloud providers as when they get sold/bought so does all of your files to a new company...we used drop box years ago and then they changed how it worked and changed pricing teirs and messed around with the service enough we realized we needed to do it ourselves...
You can setup most NAS devices to let you access your own drive/data/files remotely if you need "cloud" services...

I agree completely. If you look at my last post about crashplan, i ended up giving it a big THUMBS DOWN

I am all for crashplan if the other choice is doing NOTHING.

The question you need to ask is how long can we afford to wait to have our systems functional again?
at a few large clients we can recover in minutes.
some recover automatically (high availability)
some have the ability to “spin up” a backup subbing for the physical server (slower but functional)
all data and systems are functional while we diagnose, order and pick up parts, reinstall software

anyone who has watched 50-100 people milling around doing nothing while you troubleshoot a problem knows
what I am saying.

it’s all a question of what being down, even for a little while COSTS.

Why one of the biggest reasons I also advocate for as much as one can (or willing to do). No one is actually going to care about "your" data compared to "you". The fact that we have all of this breaches (and sometimes we don't know about them until months (or even years) later).

So I updated to the latest version of Illustrator and now they want you to use project folder for saving files to the cloud. I used to just save the files to the cloud without the folders. Does anyone else see this or is it just me..

Need to start saving to a different location I guess, find a new service.

What is everyone using to save all their files to, either hosted or self hosted

Never use the cloud. We have a separte tower to save all files.

Save Everything Here, Synology 8 bay, set up to where any 2 drives can fail without data loss. Might be time to daisy chain another one in soon to expand storage

Adobe has never bugged me about saving to the cloud

Have one at home and 1 at the shop, I manually mirror files between them as needed for added protection
