Ben, I read the post. He has qualms with backing up to an online service. Here is my take on that. When backing up to an online service you should not be backing up your disaster recovery disk. Just your data files. I have a NAS device with 3 terabytes of space, every week I backup my server image to that device. Every night, I back up my data files to the online backup.
The Cloud I a talking about here is not for backup but for actually hosting your database.
