What I care about much more is the fact that it is a reputable company and that I can trust them to look after their server farms correctly so that the backup will be there when I need it. My backup solution these days is local, but I am experimenting with Google Docs for storage only. Right now it is a bit on the expensive side ($256/year for 1 TB) but we all know what happens to those prices. I am sure that in a couple of years my backup will be the cloud and my desk will be much less cluttered.
