Yes, you definitely should employ a "belt and braces" approach to backing-up – on-site, off-site and in the cloud. Good to see you back here again, David.

Security is definitely extra-important when all your work's in the cloud. Multiple local backups help, with an external hard drive kept off-site, perhaps in a relative's home (in case of fire or flooding, for example). Hard to beat the 10-metre commute.

Really interesting point you have made about - "Graphic designers work best when they are free to express themselves and unfettered by the corporate restraints of time, money and hierarchy."

First time I have heard of the term cloud commuting and you have a good point when it comes to employing a cloud commuter instead of using agencies. A great article Rob .

For me, working from home is the only way to go. It would have to be a great offer to get me working fro someone else. Since the birth of my second child, I no longer have a proper office, which is now the nursery, but apart from that, working for yourself is total freedom in design.
