To us (Nasuni - I am an employee) losing objects in the cloud is unacceptable, therefore, the blog post reenforces that. The Nasuni Filer (our product) is a local-to-the-site, cloud-backed filesystem - and losing objects in a filesystem is simply unacceptable. Therefore, using RRS doesn't make sense for our current and potential customers who expect that our filesystem, and the snapshots of that filesystem reaching back in time, will not loose data. Sure - you save some money using it, but what happens (as the post points out) when you loose a root entry for your filesystem? RRS is interesting in the way that buying a really cheap hard drive is - you know you're paying for reduced reliability, and if that's an acceptable risk for you, fine. However to us, right now, it's an unacceptable risk to our customers. So, we agree with you - Amazon's new service level shouldn't be used for data you want to keep absolutely safe, and keeping data safe is our job as a company and product.
