Saving to local hard drive or the cloud?

Don,

Part of it might be that you are not saving a file, but a zip folder. Backup one of your .story files, then change the extension from .story to .zip, and you'll see a folder full of zipped files. So that may make the saving process much more vulnerable to lags and buffering issues.

On the other hand, I spent 4 years working with an organization that had a world-class IT plan and department, and I saved everything on a network drive without any loss ever. But I had good reason to do so. The things I needed to do made it worth the risks I knew I was taking, and I backed up everything twice a day locally. As far as saving to the cloud, it seems to me that that would be the most vulnerable external location possible, but who knows, you might be lucky.
