IMO, cloud storage is the most reliable way to store data, and Google the most reliable

Does Google publish any durability numbers? Amazon claims 99.999999999% (11 9's) for S3 and Glacier (and considerably worse for EBS volumes). How does Google compare?

Don't have numbers here, but it's pretty good, and we regularly move the data around and check it. (Ie it's not just rotting on a hard disk somewhere.)
