Right. Pretty much everyone in the business of selling cloud storage services is reselling for AWS or another provider. With that being said, I'm still backing up what I've got stored in the cloud - I'm paranoid about data loss.

You could probably drop a nuke on Amazon's corporate headquarters and take out a fair number of their data centers and AWS would keep humming along.

Well, there's that. That's what backups are for. I keep a set local, and another set.... in the cloud, of course. Not to mention that anything really, really important to me is kept local on multiple PC's in two physical locations.
Did I mention I was paranoid about data loss?
