CLOUD-to-CLOUD backup: A chasm-Spanning leap

Phuq Witt

I don't get it. ???

So, in case your cloud backup goes 'titsup' [to use El Reg's Mot du Jour], you should have it backed up to another cloud backup?

1: Why do people need to pay a 3rd party potentially "unlimited" fees to do this for them? Can't they just back up to two different clouds for themselves?

2: What if this lot's backup goes titsup? Should folks make an additional "Cloud Backup Backup Backup", just to be sure?

3: If Google and Amazon et al are using this company to backup their own clouds onto Amazon S3, then who are Amazon using to backup up these S3 backups to?

Is this what's meant by an "infinite loop"?
