He only reliable backup mechanism is starting a successful cult whose main tenet is that your data is valuable communication from God, so that they continually duplicate it. Anything else will go bust long, long before the heat death of the universe.



Amazon just announced AWS Cult-As-A-Service. For the small fee of just $0.05 per Gigabyte per month they will store your data in three separate cults located in geographically distinct regions.
