Welcome to the club of people who Microsoft stole Minecraft from. They deleted my copy since I did not migrate my account in time.

This is why I always ensure I have a big enough HD. I've used my current cloud backup for almost 15 years, and am really happy with it. But I never rely on them exclusively. If they go out of business tomorrow, I still have all the data locally!

And of course, if my HD crashes, I sync back all the really important stuff.

(OK, I would lose prior revisions of a file - I can live with that).
