I think you're forgetting the cost parameter—obviously no provider can guarantee either reliability or stability

- manuelabeledo 3y agoThey can and they do - and if they fail, they cover damages.
- fulafel 3y agoIs there a provider that would cover the customer's damages like interruption of business? There are some insurance companies at least that do similar things.
- Fnoord 3y agoA SLA would. I would just use multiple backups. One self-hosted on-premise and two off-site. Then the two off-site can have egress costs. Wouldn't matter. The self-hosted one would be the primary one to backup from. And it is going to be solid, usually. For example, a Synology NAS would suffice.
- fulafel 3y agoI think nearly all SLAs just give you discounts on the service's bill. Eg if your service vendor costs you 1000/month and they have a 10-day outage and you lose 10000000, they will credit you 1000 best-case, or maybe 1/3 of that (since it was up most of the month).
- logifail 3y ago> if they fail, they cover damages Umm, most providers' standard T&Cs exclude liability for indirect or consequential loss following unavailability of their service.
- StopTheTechies 3y agoI'm sorry, S3 insures your data in case of loss? How come they don't ask the value of what you're storing then?
- jzombie 3y agoI'd rather pay a little more money to a reputable vendor, honestly. If I depend on the backup, I want a reasonable guarantee they will deliver on their promise.
