I think with remote backups, a 2-part backup is probably the best strategy. Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner on an external hard drive, and remote backups with Arq, or BackBlaze, or Carbonite, or whatever. It's possible to lose your S3 data too (and then you're in the same situation as BackBlaze losing your data). For example, I once accidentally removed all permissions from files in a bucket with Transmit, including the permissions to read files or set permissions. I think Arq is great, just playing devil's advocate.
