But make sure you check where the other provider is hosted: I read it one user (individual, not a startup or other company) who had backups of stuff on a shared host with a second shared host. It turned out that they were both running on servers in that one OVH DC and they were cheap hosts with no better backup/dr plan themselves...

- benxh 3y agoI personally was affected by this fire, although I've always kept 3 month backups of production data, encrypted, on-site, just in case of emergencies like this. Haven't touched their services for anything production related ever since
