>If you worry about backblaze, the solution isn't to have yet another backup, it's to test your backup recovery process regularly

The solution is to do both, or all three (or n), where #3 is another backup process. And to test the backups of all processes by trying to read or restore them (onto empty disks) regularly.

I.e., somewhere on a continuum between zero or minimal and the above, depending on how critical your business is.

Because Murphy's Law.

Edited to add:

And how critical your job is (to you).

Of course there is much more to the whole issue, like funds, PHBs, etc.
