Is that true? How can they possibly measure a probability event so small? If every human in the world was their customer, then .05 humans would lost heir data?

- jontas 10y agoI don't know much about actuarial math but I think this number is for insurance policies more than anything else. It could be based on something like the rate of hardware failures they experience now amortized over a long period and many customers, and then adjusted to account for redundancy. As a very simplified example, imagine they are expecting to lose 2 servers every day, this percentage might be the probability of those two servers storing the same exact object (and thus, losing it irretrievably).
