I'm the same way. I don't really trust cloud storage, except as a way to share documents between devices (Dropbox) if Goggle Docs/Drive doesn't suffice. It's also a bit more transparency than I'm comfortable with, though that's probably silly since Google knows everything about me anyway and I have little to hide.

Flash drives/USB sticks are so cheap now, it's not a problem to use a few for backups. And if my house burns down, I would have bigger issues than losing my Calibre library! (Then again, perhaps I should bury a memory stick in the garden!)
