Yes, yes it does affect them. Much like losing a drive in a raid5 array, the time to rebuild (re-upload a new backup) is a critical period of time where you don't have any redundancy. Any failure during this period means losing all your data.
Livedrive really threw Backify under the bus, and Backify really proved that a single level of redundancy isn't enough. Blame to go all around, although I feel bad for Backify.
- mikeash 15y agoI agree that it's critical, but most people won't suffer a second failure in this period. My point is simply that, while, most people won't suffer (just as most people don't need backups at any given moment, just over the long term), those few that will show what could happen to everyone else.
