I wouldn't feel secure with the cloud because that is just saving to the internet and if your computer goes down or you loose the internet you have lost your information. I use a back up external drive and when I get enough I burn them to DVDs and burn 2 copies of each. My techie son told me that thumb drives last longer than Cd's anymore. So I have a tendency to save to as many things as I can. I bought an external DVD Drive too. I made a photo album with pockets for the Cd's and put thumbnail pictures of what in on the CD so I have a record to look through and not have to go through all Cd's to find what I want. Just my paranoia kicking in.
