A company whose mandate is to provide continuity of service is going to be more reliable than 'oops I forgot to copy my files to this cheap crappy consumer drive I bought'.
Still, this incident should serve to remind that the so-called 'cloud' isn't invincible and we should try to cover our bases through multiple backups.
