The promise of cloud backups is convenience. But the cost is control. You’re not paranoid for wanting ownership. You’re not extreme for saying no to surveillance disguised as service. It's your data. Cloud backups will burn you. It’s not a question of if, only when. Own your data. Own your keys. Or lose them both.

Cloud Backups Are Not a Recovery Plan
Cloud sync is not backup control. Encrypt files, keep independent copies, and test restores before trusting cloud storage.

Not your server, not your data. Just as true as for 'Not your keys, not your bitcoin' and 'Not your node, not your transaction'. Sovereignty requires control of the full vertical of identity, credentials, and custody. If someone else verifies who you are, who is authorized to access it, and who can delete it, then whatever 'it' is, it's NOT 'yours'!
