I'm puzzled about why you'd suggest such an obviously silly thing.

Purchased, fully redundant storage is MUCH cheaper than anything in the cloud when talking about any time frame of a year or more.

Obviously you can "rent" storage for a month for less than the cost of purchasing it, but only idiot startup CTOs try to argue a comparison like that.

Two sets of storage are still cheaper, and we all have rsync.

Does it automatically repair itself when it fails? Are you sure you're making a proper comparison?

Yes, you can in fact solve 90% of the problem with 10% of the effort, what's your plan for the rest of the problem? Just call in sick?

I'm not sure what kind of point you're trying to make here, but you're a bit off on a tangent.
