So with this idea then if my local computer crashes and I lose all data on my hard-drive I am SOL? I won't be able to reinstall RW and then tell it to sync down the data from the cloud.

Wait I can do the above allowing me to "restore" all my data. Looks allot like a backup to me if it can get me back from a hard-drive crash.

I understand from a business point of view there is a difference but for the average user of RW it will work as backup and a life saver.
