Which rock have you been sleeping under?
none.
what you've shown above is that it's vital to have backups.
*any* system can crash, whether it's the cloud or a local hard drive. the question is when, not if.Some systems are designed to have a five second crash recovery. Restoration of a significant amount of data from the cloud would take a lot longer than fives seconds. Waiting for the cloud could cost literally millions of dollars. Think about the financial services industry.
in the event something fails, you replace the failed component or wait for the cloud service to do it and restore from a backup if needed.
nothing is lost. it's just an annoyance.-- PeterN
now, there will always be stupid people who don't make backups, which means they might lose data when something fails, but that's because they're stupid enough to not have a backup.
that's not a failure of the cloud. that's a failure of their own doing.
when (not if) their local hard drive fails, they'll lose data too.
