The chances that something would happen right then in the time-frame that the cloud provider fails and you make another copy with another provider are incredibly low.

Noticing that your backups have failed isn't the time to go searching for another backup solution.

The good sides of online cloud backup far outweights the negative ones

Until your cloud backup provider goes out of business or stops offering the service. You think rsync is a lot of work? Try keeping current on the status of Dropbox and SkyDrive services so you can pull your data before they disappear. I guarantee you that a properly stored external drive will outlive either of them.

Oh, and if you were trolling with that first post, kudos on playing it out so long.
