Exactly. Techofeudal overlords can switch off all "your" stuff at any time. Always have a personal and a business disaster recovery plan including isolated backups (not synchronized replication) on N >= 2 separate services/modalities.

Options to consider for various circumstances include:

- Different object storage clouds with different accounts (different names, emails, and payment methods), potentially geographically different too

- Tarsnap (while using AWS under the hood but someone else's account(s))

- MEGA

- Onsite warm and/or cold media

- Geographically separate colo DR site, despite the overly-proud trend of "we're 100% (on someone else's SPoF) cloud now"

- Offsite cold media (personal home and/or IronMountain)
