I'd love to see BackBlaze offer the option to select "mission critical" folders that have super-long-life (Time Machine-like) version retention. Give everyone a few gigabytes of this for free, charge a premium to increase that space.

The point of making it a UI is, first and foremost, to get people thinking about this question. And it gives people the option to acheive what you just described without stumbling upon a post like yours on Hacker News.
