To Cloud or Not To Cloud

Thread needs solution

Currently I use Acronis to back-up my computer to a external hard-drive but I am thinking about backing it up to the Acronis Cloud.  But, I hesitate because I am not sure how secure the Cloud is?  I think that it would be easy for nefarious persons to hack into the Cloud and have access to all of the files and data on my computer.  Question: How secure is the Cloud.

As secure as 256aes encryption gets and how well you guard your password and physical computer access. I wouldn't give up local backups though, but would supplement them with additional off-site cloud backups. It's the IT trusted, tried and true 3-2-1 backup plan.
