Not much info on it. What does it do? Email me if you're the founder. :)

#4I believe that https://www.mediacloud.cc/ is trying to solve that right now. However, their website is sparse on details.

#5If you want to avoid having any backup devices yourself, would you need to upload to two or more Glacier-like services?
I also trust Amazon to stay in business but mistakes can always happen (not just hardware but ID theft, card expiry while you're on a 6 month hike, etc) and unless you're prepared to say "losing these is OK" using one service would be risky.

Definitely quite a few companies are attempting something in this space. I think the one that will win will be the one that actually has photographers as founders and understand the need.
Unfortunately it is quite a niche and most photographers are gadget hounds and don't mind having 2-3 drobos (including an off-site one).

#7How about git-annex assistant with the glacier remote? http://git-annex.branchable.com/special_remotes/glacier/. It will move files off your local once they have been transfered to the remote.

#8Backup is about having several copies. If you delete files after you uploaded them to the cloud, you don't have a backup - with all the problems that come with it (say, if you delete a file by accident there will probably be no way to restore it).
If your files are important to you - you need a back up. If not - just get rid of them in the name of simplicity :)
PS. Also, uploading many gigabytes over a typical ADSL connection is just painfully slow... even local NAS is too slow over WiFi for my taste, and if I have to have a wire - I can just as well connect an external drive.

The large part of this post for me is about the local thumbnail exports of the RAWs so I actually know what files are what without having to go just by album names, dates et cetera.
