Maybe create a backup once a week or so, put it in a TC container, and send it to the cloud. But to rely on a network connection just to get to a file, that really just doesn't make sense to me...

You don't rely on a network to get a file, you rely on it to sync files between devices, try doing that by constantly moving along a usb stick and plugging it in, as opposed to having a single cloud storage where you and others can edit said file. (as for "relying" on network connections in general, granted, but in this day and age it's hard to find anyone who doesn't, cloud or no cloud, so that argument on "reliance" falls flat too.)
