Someone at Iron Mountain or Fedex could lose your backups too (accidentally or maliciously). Neither is too likely, nor is someone internally deleting data at S3. That said, if you have data you can't ever take a chance to lose, don't store it in only one place ever - not just on S3, not just on a USB drive, not just in off-site physical storage. Keep at least two copies, maybe more. One of the things we're working on is allowing you to backup to multiple cloud providers - so even in the unlikely event of a catastrophic cloud failure you'd have other copies available.
