> 6-week vacations aren't that uncommon
I would love to live on the planet you live on
I may have said vacations, but people take time off work for any number of reasons. Paternity/Maternity leave, health, family needs, and so on. I had a 2-month lapse when I moved from Germany to the United States for example.
If there were, for any reason, an internal lapse in communication or processes (imagine small companies...) that could result in a pretty sour situation.
A different continent, not planet :- )
5 or 6 weeks vacation per year, + about 1 or 2 more weeks in total, because of Christmas, NYE etc, is how things work in Scandinavia.
(I feel curious about how things are, where you live )
All in all, from the moment of non-payment to the moment that everything you have on their servers is gone shouldn't be less than 90 days in my personal opinion. If that raised the cost of my backups by a few dollars, so be it. The backups are there to account for things I may not have been able to consider.
