If you haven't heard of "the cloud", you probably haven't been paying attention to all of the online services that are cropping up online.  If you've used Flickr, Facebook, Gmail, Hotmail, or any of the thousands of online tools available today, you've used the cloud.  It's a way of saying that the things you put on those sites are stored "somewhere", but you don't know, or need to care, where it's stored.  It's just in the clouds.  I've always been a little hesitant of putting things "in the cloud".  Living in a rural area, my world isn't quite connected enough that I'm always assured of an internet connection and I don't want that to keep me from being able to get my things.  But I've become more aware of the idea that relying solely on my local hardware for storing my backups of important things is risky to say the least.  Sure you can get a large external backup drive and copy your files to it every so often, or even automatically, but what happens when you your house burns down, or someone robs you and takes the computer and the backup?  Or any other number of catastrophes that could happen when your backup is so close to the source.  What's that?!  You say you aren't backing your digital stuff up?  If you don't have any backup strategy, it's only a matter of time before you get burned by it.  You need to have backups and this article should convince you that the only real way to do it is to keep those backups offsite.
