When I've persuaded people to make copies of their essential records, they keep the record safely in sight.

Telling them about (paid) web storage and explaining they could buy the chance to upload and maintain additional copies would not increase my popularity.

Computers are not much different from paper in protection from fire. The best chance is to recommend a safe, for both papers and CDs.

Agreed?
