"Durability" is the term you're looking for. S3 and Glacier famously have 99.999999999% durability. The quote goes "if you store 10,000,000 objects with Amazon S3, you can on average expect to incur a loss of a single object once every 10,000 years."
Backblaze makes similar claims.
- gavindean90 2y agoI think the commenter was asking if they refresh the storage enough for it to not die if natural causes. If data is left around on most storage media it will be gone within 75 years if not refreshed somehow.

- saagarjha 2y agoThis is only relevant if you have billions of objects in S3, when your failure rate can be amortized. Otherwise either Amazon is going to go bankrupt or you’ll be the one person who has total data loss by chance.
