Your comment made me wonder whether cloud storage was vulnerable to ramsomeware. Short answer: yes it is (you can google the question). So a USB dive not left plugged in (we discussed in an earlier thread) is probably safer.

I ought to check that my Aomei backup can actually be used to restore the machine if the disk (it's an SSD) failed. But I haven't.
