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) |
