General Electric trusts Mozy
I trust Mozy because they are owned by EMC. I'm highly confident that EMC isn't going to let them screw up - it would look terrible for EMC if Mozy lost data, considering that's the industry EMC is in.
Overall too, in a multi-tier backup and recovery plan, you only need one of say three sources (ie. live, nearline, offline) to survive - you don't need absolute faith in your backup solution if its not the only egg in your basket.
Overall though, I agree wholly with your overall sentiment - you need to use a provider you trust, and you need to determine how trustworthy they need to be, and how much you're willing to pay for that level of trust. It's a complicated set of decisions to make.
