That's why you don't put all your eggs in one basket. both local and offsite backups are essential. Free online storage sites have a history of being unreliable. However, two paid online backup sites (similar to storage), Carbonite and Mozy, have had excellent track records and survived the economic turndown so will probably be around for a while. I use Carbonite but if they should go belly up and lose my files, I'll still have them on a local drive.
