This is a pretty simple thing but something I just started doing myself.  I use SkyDrive myself but I am sure there are many out there.  Although SkyDrive is free.  When you do this instantly your project is backed up onto the cloud.  So even if total hard drive failure you won't lose your work.
 
Just wanted to share in case it helps someone.
 
 
 
 
Before this I was doing this with Amazon.com but had to do it separately, like after I saved normally.  This just feels so secure and easy to do it this way and instant!

I don't get the concept of cloud storage. All your important information, music and personal stuff, that's so important you want to secure it in case of problems.

I don't get how turning this info over to a stranger on the internet is secure. What happens to it when it's in the care of the cloud?

Well I don't know about that but it is secure in the sense you won't lose it.

I know I couldn't care less if someone "stole" my music files but I honestly don't see anything to worry about myself.
 
 
edit:  I did a search and it is safe as long as you don't screw up the permissions, like allowing other people to access it. 
 
There is lots of info on it out there and there are very secure alternatives but most likely cost money.

There's about a thousand times better chance your computer at home will get stolen or hacked compared to having your data on Skydrive.
I wouldn't worry about Skydrive ever getting hacked unless you work for the Pentagon.

Here's what I think of the cloud idea: It is simply idiotic.

My computer has a hard drive slot that lets me insert a drive like an 8 track. I run a backup every week and pull the drive out for storage until I need it again. If I had a business I would do the same thing, except rotate 2 drives through the backup and keep one off site at all times. That makes me feel secure.

I find it funny that people are so worried about their privacy or whatever. Are you kidding me. TBBH, your just not worth the time. That goes for me as well.

It is not secure except from the owner. Your questions show great insight. I see no use for using an Internet based storage solution. It is no solution. All that it does is make it easier for the government and any one else to have access to all your data. You however might find it impossible to access it if for what ever reason such as lack of payment or a change of ownership that wants to change in the contract decides to end the cloud.  I'm not sure that there is any case law on it either. 

To me its something ideally suited to empower hackers. They must be rejoicing.   

Why would the government want my music project? 

Hard drives fail all the time, it is nice to instantly back up my project where I don't have to worry about it.

I think a lot people need to take off their tin foil hats :D

The cloud is not just for your projects. LOL But in answer to your question because you make great music?
