"Do any cloud providers create backups on top of replication though?"
We do.[1]
For exactly 1.75x our normal pricing, we will replicate your entire account, nightly, to a geo-redundant site which is not open for normal customer use (and, therefore, has a lower risk profile). This GR site is the he.net core datacenter, in Fremont.
It's also worth pointing out that replication to rsync.net buys you malware/ransomware protection since your account is snapshotted, by ZFS, nightly, and those snapshots are immutable (read-only).

- slim 6y agoNo you don't. What would you do if all the files of your customers that did not pay for backups are lost ?
- nix23 6y ago>customers that did not pay for backups are lost But they pay for it.
- RantyDave 6y agoI've been wondering about ransomware protection through snapshots. Presumably (and I do know more or less nothing about it) the malware aspect of it is present on the system significantly before the ransomware aspect is triggered - so restoring to yesterday's backup just puts you back in the position to get pwn3d again? How do companies get around this?
