DigitalOcean lost our server

Does anyone have any good backup solutions to mitigate this? My agency uses a script we wrote in-house to more-or-less rsync our data to an AWS instance, but it's always seemed a poor way to handle it. I'm using DO's backup service for my personal site which was always supposed to be a temporary solution (the timing of the backups is inconvenient as mentioned by the article).

A better solution would be wonderful.

This isn't exactly turnkey but for my personal servers, I use rsync.net (ask for the HN discount) and attic [0]. It's easy to script and call with cron. (Of course, this is still somewhat DIY, and any backup solution is only as good as your monitoring + restore testing.)

rsync.net is the shit. I can vouch for them 110%.

Also backblaze's b2 is pretty damn good/cheap. I use it as a secondary backup.
