Nope, **importing** it means that **you** now have it in your account . its yours and won’t be taken down even **if the** other one is taken down.

Remember, backup means download content to local drive and reupload it freshly to your cloud drive. Doing this may keep the files save and separated.

## Good luck and topic solved.

I disagree with this, I personally have two mega accounts(drive1) and the other (drive2).  
I have imported content from drive1 to drive2 via the link import function and have deleted the files on drive1 and drive2 have those files.

If you own both the drives then it might not get deleted the way @conspiracy’s did

both are different account, it doesn’t even matter if they are mine or someone else’s. For Mega those are two totally different accounts.

Nothing will happen  
Both are considered different data

But remember if you are having data more than your mega account capacity. Your data will reside only for 2-3 months after that you will be asked to buy a subscription and won’t be able to access that data until you buy.  
If failed to buy one your data will be deleted as next step.

Yes it will suffice for another 2-3 months period. However exactly it’s two month or three months that is up to Mega inc.
