I'm not sure if I read that right, but isn't that like saying RAID counts as backup since it's replicated multiple times? What happens if data (on S3) is corrupted as a result of a logical error?
- jimktrains2 14y agoThe idea is not consitency but availability when it comes to an off-site backup. (Yes, it _should_ be consitent in-and-of being a back-up, but the point of off-site is so that you have access to it in the event your main server area is gone.)
