| If it happened to "them" it could happen to us. You never know when the next war will be. |

| Yeah, but the risks are massive. Amazon wrote off its Dubai data center, it's a complete loss. This is a catastrophic event that you can't mitigate except with cold storage offline. |

Most people balk at monthly S3 fees, so willingly paying double the cost is a non-starter for those led by the bean counters. Disaster recovery is a known thing that should not be blamed on the loss of a single data center in a stupid war. AWS even has automation of duplicating selected data to another region. | |
