And there are people who think you're joking, reductio ad absurdum.
You can't trust your own computer, because the hard drive might go bad at any moment, so you backup up a USB drive. But you can't trust that backup, because your house could burn down, or get flooded, or get caught in a tornado; so you back up to cloud, too. But you can't trust that because, well, cloud.
At some point, you just have to accept that there will always be risk, no matter what you do. You take steps to minimize it until your comfort level exceeds the cost or PITA-ness of your backup solutions, but those who know, know you can never guarantee you've covered all the bases.
