But the chances of a laptop and a pen drive failing at the same time?
I don't know, you can protect your laptop with anti virus software as much as you can, and yes it can still be breached, but as easily as cloud storage? I'm still not convinced by it.
The Cloud is your friend - Dropbox.com Googles drive.google.com or Microsoft https://skydrive.live.com I use all three and all 3 are free for the first few GBs.
A USB stick can fail - Hard drives can fail - So do yourself a favor and use the Cloud as well
Dropbox (GDrive + Skydrive) can be added to your PC like its just another Hard drive so you can just plonk your stuff in there and it will auto sync with the Cloud.
And yes the NSA and the GCHQ will be reading your stuff during their lunch break. If its any good, they may give you a good review, or worse pay you a visit at 4am.

I regularly update my work. It is stored on 4 hard drives, an external Hard drive, 3 Memory sticks, burned to disc and with McAfee online back up.
I'm not paranoid, if you don't believe me ask that man that keeps following me.
