Re: Computer Repair.
I prefer home storage for everything, but for the very important items I keep offsite backups as well. With the cost of it all these days there is really no reason not to.
Home storage is nice if(when) the ISP decides to crap out and I'm stuck with the back up line for general connectivity.
For security though nothing beats having copies in 2-3 places.

US Patriot Act. - It gives the US government legal access to ALL data stored on US soil. Without warrant, permissions, notification, or even suspicion of wrongdoing.

US companies like Google don't just hand over a person's personal files because the Government demands.
If Google did that they'd lose a billion clients over night.

No, That's EXACTLY how it is. It's law and if the company wants to operate in the US it must abide by US law or face the legal/justice system. They don't have a choice in the matter.
Research The Patriot Act (US). Then research "Bill 73" (Canada). Bill 73 is a direct response from the Canadian government to the patriot act. It basically says "Because of the Patriot Act, no Canadian citizen's data is to be stored on US soil".
Microsoft recently built a Canadian datacenter and a 2nd disaster recovery/backup center in Canada because of this - they weren't able to talk any Canadian customers into using their US datacenters for cloud services. In the US, many companies are moving to out of state datacenters. It's a huge thing. Nobody wants to store their data in the US because of it.
The US government and it's empowered agencies and employees have legal access to all data stored on in the US via the Patriot Act. No warrant, etc required all they need to do is wave the terrorism flag and invoke the act. Don't believe me that's fine, do some google searching then - what I'm telling you is OLD news you'll find tones of info if you don't want to believe me.
