> Do any cloud providers create backups on top of replication though?

Yes - I work at one of the FAANGs for a team that's doing precisely this. We develops an internal disaster recovery tool that creates backups of data files that can't be touched by the creating application, and that can be read back in a disaster event to recover the data.

Are those backups for you or for your customers? The parent is referring to cloud providers, e.g. AWS S3.
