Still doesn't make sense PB didn't have a back-up I'm sure they run raid systems and mirror all drives.You can be sure they had several. That's why they told OP it was a one in a billion accident.

"The cloud" is a marketing term. It's just another backup service, they've been around for years under less interesting names like "server farm".

All my pics are on the hard drive before being copied to PB so I have two of the same pics in different places so then I put the pics on a CD or Data Stick Sometime I even save the original 3-1/2" disk that the original pic was taken by my 20 yr. old Sony Mavica. duh----Yea, I'm very old school. Some pics I have on 5-6 different drives/disks/etc. I scanned a bunch years ago and pasted to MS Word.
I may not be the sharpest knife in the kitchen but I can still cut. LOL
