Definitely. Never trust someone else with your data. I lost a VPS whose host was presumably RAID'ed and backed up. Never got my VPS or data back from them, but I only lost a few hours of data since I backed it up myself daily. After 5 days of dumb excuses I opened an account with another provider, reconfigured my name servers and got everything going again.
I didn't have to wait 5 days; it's just that my sites weren't revenue generating.
