This it true for all online backup solutions, I've used another
provider which I payed a yearly fee for. Suddenly I realized that the
system wasn't taking backups anymore and after discussions back and
forth with their support organization during a month or two they asked
if they could delete my account and let me upload the data again. It
wasn't a big issue since I had all data locally, but it made me realize
that you can't really trust online backup solutions 100%.
I think all online backup solutions should be considered an extra
safety, your primary backup should be something you have full control
of yourself.
Still, I agree with pippin, it is kind of an interesting idea and it's
probably possible to do some interesting processing if you have access
to all these music files. The key for this to be a business success
must be to be able to take advantage of having access to a lot of music
files because the number of people that will restore backups are
probably going to be too few to cover the costs.
