There was an earlier discussion on HN about why people should not use DropBox for backup: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4411822 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4411822 As far I can tell from DropBox's help pages, they claim that they are safe for backup [1], but they only save file changes for 30 days unless you pay extra [2]. Do you use the PackRat addon, or is 30 days worth of changes okay for you?
