Using cloud services as the only copy is literally what I have been told to do working on my PhD by my supervisors. This is in the cybersecurity department. How you think this attitude is acceptable or normal is beyond me.
The whole point of modern cloud platforms is they worry about this so you don't have to. Not that people ever actually followed 321 backup policy anyway.
Edit: at least my stuff is on two different cloud services.
I'm sure this was reasonable 10 years ago, when Google didn't have a policy of erasing people's files without reason.
I am not talking about Google but rather Overleaf and GitHub. Though there is university data kept on Google Drive including students marks.
If you are using GitHub, then the cloud copy is obviously not the only copy.
Your supervisors are wrong. How they think that attitude is acceptable or normal is beyond me.
