I don't, actually, expect them to do so. But even if I would, and Gandi, here, were doing backups and replications, no one is immune from errors and catastrophes.

Pretending that the cloud is permanent in infallible is extremely dangerous. I would seriously question the competence of any sysadmin relying on this as a base principle.

Sure, they screwed up, but this stuff happens. We should actually be happy it happens "only" on a "small-ish" provider like Gandi and not an entire AZ at Amazon.

Can't wait for that shoe to drop, I'll bring the popcorn, if there's anything left of civilization then...
