You are joking, right? GSpace depends *entirely* on the goodwill of
Google. GSpace isn't endorsed by Google, and can disappear without
warning, if Google make any (un)suitable changes to their system. Even
the people that created it don't place that much faith in it. This
taken from their "Legal issues";

For that reason alone I wouldn't consider it even as a tertiary backup.
Even if GSpace is discontinued, I can download the uploaded data by
accessing my gmail account. So, for a secondary backup, apart from
backups on cd/dvd, it will do for me. And I cannot anticipate on Google
(dis)continuing gmail etc. For the unlikely case that my house burns
down and Google discontinuing gmail on the same day ... But then
again, maybe tonight the ceiling will come down ... (if you know what I
mean).
