The up side of the cloud is low cost and off site storage- important for real disasters like fire.
The down side is the dependence on your ISP for connection speed & reliability, and the lack of a bootable disc. If your home computer hard drive really dies you'll need something from which to start up again. That is a big benefit of a local disc and a utility like SuperDuper.
That makes the case for both a local disc to restart after disc disaster and the cloud to store data for house disaster.
