I, too, am an EE, though that is not really relevant. I have had every form of backup fail at one time or another, including tape, floppy, HD, flash drive, and (Yes) Norton online backup service. The only statisically sound method of backup, in my opinion is to be sure you have two physically separate copies of every file you care about but who does that?
I do like automated online backup services because they require no human intervention to make them happen. However, I am not thrilled with trying to restore several hundred GB of photos from an online service. Currently I use redundant network big hard drives and alternate which one I back up to. This is all automated by Apple's time machine backup application.Î
Nothing is perfect or foolproof or 100% reliable.

But-flash drives in my experience as EE and CS engineer have been 100% reliable in the last5-6 years that I have used..
