Hmmmm ...

"sinking with all its hosted data on it, leaving its users with no recourse other than their own backups."

If you rely in a third party as the only repository of your data, how valuable can it be? If you don't have a backup, how valuable can it be? I've never really understood the concept of trusting a third party such as Flickr with the only copy of a phoro. Sure, it works for the consumer sheep, but anyone who thinks a few steps ahead is going to see the issues ... or should.

Oh, and the golden rule of backups - two is one, and one is none.

Seems simple to me.
