That's what I thought when I read the report earlier today. A system with that much complexity is doomed to failure eventually.
I can understand "right tool for the job" but at some point it should all come together. An MVP can be hacked together from bits and bobs, but when it becomes a business it should be refactored to reduce complexity where possible.
Trying to maintain five seperate backup solutions, let alone trying to restore from all five of them, sounds like my worst nightmare. Trying to restore from one backup is often hard enough by itself.
