That's rapid recovery NOT a backup. A backup should survive an exploding computer or a burned down house.

>My backups are supposed to protect me against my own mistakes, not against Google's mistakes. Protection against Google's mistakes should be Google's job.

Should be someone else job was never good enough for my data, and i think i have been proven right (once again).

>Do not ever trust us to store your data! It could be gone any second. Always make offsite backups!

Yes just trust yourself. Yes always make offsite AND offline backups, if your key/password gets stolen for example "insert storage provider" your data is also in danger.

>But the users's mistake is not actually to have mistaken live data for a backup.

Both made a mistake, one did not make a backup the other one is...well google.
