OVH saw a datacenter burn down a few years ago:
> These reports criticize OVHcloud for having no fire prevention system and no power cut-off on the site, for using wooden floors, and for a free-cooling design that created airflows that spread the fire. The reports also say that water was detected near electrical systems before the fire broke out.
OVH lied to some customers about which data center held their backups, keeping them in the same data center as the source machines. Both their own backups offering, and when a customer managed their own backups and explicitly copied the data to another DC.
Oh, and OVH almost recovered a customer's data, but accidentally deleted it instead.
