What do you mean? It's not like if your object store becomes unavailable your database sending it's backups there will suddenly stop working.

Indeed, but if you're hosting user-images on S3 and they go away your site is broken.

That might not be a big deal, or it might mean your site is 100% broken. I can't guess, but I'd assume since you went to the effort to setup a store you need it in some way.

(No backups? Of a database? That's one power-cut, or hardware failure away from complete data loss too!)
