A data center outage is (usually) like a plane crash. It doesn't happen just because of one thing going wrong. A series of things have to go wrong, including backups failing, backups of backups failing, sometimes human error, and often lots of bad luck. Just like flying on a plane, single things go wrong all the time. If you don't find out about it, it means they're doing their job.
