Never trust the cloud. Never trust local storage, either. Never trust any one thing to keep your data safe. Keep multiple backups at multiple locations of anything really important.

While you are at it, print all your data using Paperbak[1] and store it in your attic. Make a few extra xerox copies and distribute to friends and family.

I don't know much data OP wants to backup, but using Paperbak you can backup 250MB to 1.5GB per ream of paper. That gets out of hand real fast.

It does remind me of how PGP used to be exported out of the US, due to government regulations: http://www.pgpi.org/pgpi/project/scanning/
