What motivates these backup organizations to provide such a great  
deal?  I mean, they are steadily increasing the amount of data that  
they must protect.  Is it worth it, really, the amount you pay?

Unless you push further into the cloud, you have no way of knowing  
what sort of front group this is.

Up to you, though.  Me personally, on the basis of my experience with  
the data integrity issue and the sorts of people who capitalize in it,  
I would avoid doing backups with them instead of having my own systems  
of protection.  And really, is it that hard to protect oneself these  
days?  I've lost my own data countless times, so I know how easy it is  
to lose everything; keeping everything safe is thus, just a little  
less easy.
