Don't want to start a big thing here, but have you ever considered just getting and external USB drive and periodically copying your data to that drive instead of transmitting it out across the internet?
Those cloud services tend to be resource hogs as well, it's just one more process that's always running on your computer, and it's sucking up bandwidth on your internet connection. Granted there's configuration considerations regarding how much of those resources it's taking up, but it's still something to think about.
The other thing is that if you ever have to recover your data, it will reload a lot quicker from a USB drive than it will over the internet.
Just my personal opinion. That and 5 to 7 bucks will get you a Latte Crapacino at Starbucks.
