Who is accessing their off site backups regularly? I spent 7 years of managing IT for a 500 person company and we never needed to pull in the offsite backups, those were for disaster recovery. After decades of managing my home backups, I've never had to pull in the off-site backups (which started as CD's (the DVD's) mailed to my parents, then a hard drive, and now cloud backup (not AWS)).

I always have local backups which I'd use to recover a deleted file or crashed hard drive, it would take weeks, maybe months to pull down my cloud backup unless I pay for a hard drive to be shipped to me (or in AWS's case, a Snowball, I could have 100TB restored in under a week using a Snowball)
