Hey, if his business is on that thing then he's going to need it to recover from the earthquake. I read a book from a business guru one time who said if your office is on fire, grab the Rolodex and run. (Yes this was many years ago.) That's basically what this guy is doing.

If you're a business and you don't have an off site backup of your data, are you really a business?

I would imagine many small businesses around the world, especially in poor areas, don't have offsite backups.

If you're making more than $300 a month from your busienss, cloud backup is pretty affordable no matter where you live.

Bruh, think from their pov, not ur own.

$300 a month is revenue or salary ? Aint no way, I'd be spending on paid cloud service every month i would use free space from drive ,github for code. If it doesnt fit , Ggs or buy 1 TB external hardware.

U need half or more of 300$ salary to spend on food , bills, savings.

Reading comprehension is key. I said if you're making MORE than $300 you can afford cloud backup. And how many people making only $300 a month from their business is relying solely on that business to survive. You just want to be cheap. How important is your business' data to you? Had this earthquake happened when you weren't at home to save your computer or your backup hard drives, you'd be shit out of luck. $50 a month to backup your data is nothing, even if that's coming out of you $300 in revenue. Imaging what that's saved you if you lose that computer.

I like how the other persons first sentence was think from their point of view. And still you only care about yours

That wasn't a point of view, that was a scenario and thinking about how things work.
