Just one more in a long line of reasons to...

**GET YOUR DATA OFF OF GOOGLE'S SERVERS**

"UniSuper, an Australian pension fund that manages $135 billion worth of funds and has 647,000 members, had its entire account wiped out at Google Cloud, including all its backups that were stored on the service."

"UniSuper is an Australian "superannuation fund"—the US equivalent would be a 401(k). It's a retirement fund that employers pay into as part of an employee paycheck; in Australia, some amount of superfund payment is required by law for all employed people. Managing $135 billion worth of funds makes UniSuper a big enough company that, if something goes wrong, it gets the Google Cloud CEO on the phone instead of customer service."

What is a better email service than gmail from your advice?

not OP but I generally recommend proton mail

emails are stored with 0 access encryption (meaning proton can't see your emails), uses e2ee between users where possible, open source clients, solid reputation, based in switzerland, etc

Your daily reminder to not put all of your eggs (backups) in a single basket.

If there's not three distinct copies of data stored in different places, consider it gone.
