When it comes to important data users should mistrust everyone and everything. It is more difficult to backup data from most cloud sources. There's no easy way to backup my entire Flickr account, Facebook profile, or Google account for example. To backup Gmail I have to rely on desktop applications via IMAP. Is this really acceptable? Why don't we have more sites offering easy offline backups? No matter how you look at it the user has to be responsible for their own data. If cloud services are not making this easy to do then we have a legitimate problem.
