    If you’re in Google Cloud, you should have data backed up in something other than Google cloud, this is no different to having all your data in a basement which could be hit by natural disasters, randomware etc.

    Hopefully the Unisuper example provides a good enough example for IT professionals to argue for funding for external backups and that the cloud isn’t a reason to not have them.

      Yes, a backup in a different location is necessary either way, I should have worded that better.

      I still prefer selfhosting, if feasible. Having data sovereignty has it’s benefits.
