Default THIS is why the 'Cloud' is no place for your data

I had my preview several years ago when my Gainstracker account data disappeared one day. Several years of trading data, including the 'basis' for all my long stock positions just gone.
Calls to Gainstracker - no one can help me. Yes they back up the data but they have 'no way' to find the data for a single account they have trashed.

Lesson learned. I am the only data bank I have direct access to and the only one I can trust.

Just wait 'till Apple or Google looses a few thousand accounts one day. The bloom will be off the rose in a big hurry.

Back up frequently, using multiple storage vehicles! Easy with WinMo and one good reason to stay with the Grown Up mobile OS
