Therein lies the key to your question when you said, "...not some fly-by-night company that might disappear someday." I don't trust anything that isn't in my hot little hand, which is why I still receive paper receipts and don't rely on companies to keep electronic records. Also, people always used to ridicule me for not purchasing extended warranties at Circuit City as they typically said, "...they'll be around forever...," when I questioned the longevity of those warranty guarantees. Enough said.
I'd recommend sticking with your own hard drive backups, only do it a little differently. I keep one set of backups immediately handy on an external drive for home use, while another I keep in a fireproof safe, and a third drive I keep at my sister's house so that it's geographically separated from the other drives. I keep her backup drive as well. The odds of something happening to all three of those drives must be 100 octillion to one, so in other words my pics are safe. Just food for thought, but IMO don't trust in the cloud.
