I have been recommended iDrive a lot under this post. How reliable are they?

Thanks. I was wondering about the reliability of data storage/infrastructure of iDrive specifically. For example, I’m fairly sure that I can keep my data in AWS Glacier/B2 for 10 years or so and nothing much would happen (Assuming Backblaze doesn’t just die). Can I assume that for iDrive? Is this an old company with many years in the business? For their offerings seem amazing, it’s just the perceived risk from lack of information that is holding me back.

I'm using it too and even the current prices are reasonable (especially if you consider there's no other fees, no transfer, no ingress, no egress, ...). If you put it in S3 glacier and you ever have to restore a relevant chunk of your data (or god forbid, want to do periodic testing of the backed up data) then you'll be paying quite a bit of fees.
