This will be fun in 20 years, trying recover 'cloud' backups from servers found in some warehouse.

Nah it will be very simple:

....What do you mean "nobody paid for the bucket for last 5 years" ?

There is some chance someone might stash old hard drive or tape with backup somewhere in the closet. There is no chance there will be anything left when someone stops paying for cloud.

Those drives will all be encrypted and most likely shredded.
