      Well thats what backups are for, but may be start with a mirror or with unimportant stuff for at least a year ;) Also proprietary service can delete your data, too. This happens especially when you are using the generous free tier and they decide to make more money. See Evernote, Gitlab, Heroku…

      You wouldn’t host anything important without doing it properly.

      That should be obvious, man.

        Not even remotely close to true. Services are mostly half assed. Doing them correctly is time consuming and expensive.
