Yeah, stuff like this is glad I didn’t immediately start putting everything on Drive like they want us to at my job now. I do everything on my iPad and computer, then upload a copy to Drive. Having to work with Classroom daily has made me lose all trust in Google stuff, I swear.

The rule to backups is 3-2-1.
3 Total Copies.
2 Different Media. Think Cloud vs HDD
1 Off-site.
If you follow the three rules - no single event can destroy your data. But if you want to talk about probabilities - this is the one time Google Drive has lost a significant amount of data. Millions of local storage devices in the form of iPads and Computers have died while Google Drive has been alive.

Right I guess I meant no single event where you would care about that data afterwards.
A massive solar flare could destroy all digital data on the entire planet, and send us back into the stone age. Hundreds of thousands would die.
Mutual Assured Destruction could trigger, and suddenly those TPS report backups are not your problem anymore.
