Either way, don't think (((big cloud))) is reliable. It fails just like everything else.
I keep reminding people that "the cloud" they're paying for is just someone else's servers and storage.
Not only that, you're giving a hostile enemy access to all of your data. Just so people know, Azure (bill gates) cloud, is the most attacked infrastructure in the world. It's only a matter of time before it is breached in a big way.
Oh, hell yeah. The bigger the target the more people who go after it.
See cloud security companies based wholly or partially in Israel. They have access to very sensitive information on how to exploit your systems and most major companies use companies like this.
The only reliable benefit is that it's offsite, to protect against local catastrophe.

Which is why cloud backup should only be a part of a company's backup / storage strategy.
And heavily encrypted locally before it ever gets sent to the cloud service.
Their servers and storage, their control of the data stored into them.
