Google is fine for most people, but it shouldn’t be the sole backup. If you don’t have (at least) 3 separate means of backup, you don’t really have a backup. Preferably an onsite hard backup, an offsite hard backup, and a cloud backup.

I know quite a few tech oriented people and I don’t know anyone who actually has the holy trinity of backups. I know quite a few who have physical backups at home and cloud though.
