IMHO, the risk of losing data because your PC fails just when the
provider goes belly up is smaller than the risk of losing data because
your PC dies and the USB drive does too.
I would say that the risk of either is pretty low ... and a local USB drive is a whole lot faster than any cloud based service.
That said ... I do backup critical data to a remote service on a daily basis. So, if my house burns down, I can still access all my financial information from another copy of Quicken.
I also backup some important stuff to a portable USB hard drive and put it in my safe deposit box.
FWIW: I have a friend who rsync's the mailing list archives on a daily basis ... so the list data is safe and sound.
