Yesterday was the perfect example why you shoud never ever never ever never should store any of your data on OneDrive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep storing your data on your own computer instead.
I used to even store my emails on my computer using the program Eudora. For a while I was able to use with my former ATT email, but haven't figured out how to use it with Gmail.

I have disabled my 'Onedrive'and nothing goes to it. I backup my stuff on an external drive. If in the case of a fire or other disaster, I can rush in and grab it.
it's still a reasonable idea to have backups on services like One Drive because no one knows if and when disaster will strike. However I don't heed my own advice. But if I did the last place I'd use is One Drive.

Cloud backups may be ok, but one ought to have two more:
- One close-at-hand to the computer, and...
- The other stored "off-site" to protect against disasters.
Encrypt sensitive data and have backups in at least two different geographic locations. If your house burns to the ground, your local backup is gone.
