A fair point. Yes, I've tested and restored things before. However, those were normally smaller footprints and not the entirety of my data. Given the rest of the public's generally good experience with them that I could find (and kept seeing), I felt fairly confident that my data is safe (which is to say, I might not be able to get to it easily, but it's not going to disappear into thin air either).

I'm thinking given prior experiences, other users, etc. that my experience currently is the anomaly (and hoping so).
