which is why you should stay clear of proprietary file formats. If you want to be sure your data will still be readable in 10 or 20 years, use open formats like html, pdf, odf (open document format) or plain text.

personally I don't recommend online file storage for backups, as I value my privacy.
I make automatic weekly incremental backups on a seperate hard drive in my PC. Monthly backups on external HD and DVD. I don't really care about how long the DVD's will last since I won't really need anything that's on them in 10 years.

For the things I really need to keep longer I make a hard copy.
Yamaha XJ600S Diversion '94
Yamaha XJ900S Diversion '97
Suzuki SV650S '01
Yamaha TDM900 '04

Yamaha XT660Z Ténéré '08 + Yamaha TRX850 '97

I'll let go of my throttle when they pry it from my cold, dead hands...
