It would be a great destination for cloud backup, where one of the concerns is loss of all your backed up data due to malicious action - look at the trouble the hackers had to go to in Mr Robot to take out their offsite tape backups. I'd be more concerned though with the durability of the company rather than their disk systems over the long term though.

- hedora 9y agoAmazon is still a single point of failure when you backup S3 to S3. What if they deploy a silent corruption bug next year?
- someonewhocar3s 9y agoAmazon is so big that it's hard to imagine it failing, rather than you failing. But you can not have Backblaze and Wasabi at a price point that is less than half of S3. Not sure about this Glacier stuff.
