I Cloud, Google+, etc etc. I use my Dropbox for photo back up and it works great. Then if I have anything I really want to protect I put it on one of my external hard drives I use for my actual photography.

Data backup is crazy important for anything critical. I learned that the hard way when a hard drive containing three years worth of photos failed on me a few years back. I now have backups in encrypted files in dropbox, on a personal NAS and on my computer automated on a weekly basis. Google+ also does automatic backups for my pictures every time I take a picture. Not too concerned about security on those since I'm not doing any crazy selfies or the like. People also have to remember customer electronics are engineered to last in the warranty period and that is a MTBF sometime past the year.
