What happens if Amazon runs out of machines, has a system-wide corruption that was noticed too late or decides to be dicks about something or other?

- mark_l_watson 17y agoGood questions. I would think that if they are making money with AWS then they will keep buying more servers. I usually trust S3 for backups and restores but periodically back my own data off of AWS to local storage. I expect both Amazon and Google infrastructure services to experience outages from time to time. However, they have far more resources and expertise than I do to provide scalable services for a low cost.
- DenisM 17y agoI was thinking about making a set up where my S3 backups are automatically mirrored to rackspace or something like that. That would be a really neat setup.
