Canon's cloud platform has lost users' files and can't restore them

I’ve always wondered if Amazon backs up S3. I don’t think they explicitly say but I get the impression that it is the user’s responsibility to replicate to a second region to guard against data loss so I am guessing not. Object Lock wouldn’t protect against an S3 failure.

They say it's designed to provide significant durability : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/DataDurabili... (99.999999999% durable over a year per object, and able to sustain data loss in 2 facilities).

Given the peeks that amazon has provided into the scale of S3, I don't know if you CAN 'back it up'.

As far as I can tell it’s replicated (by default - see “reduced redundancy storage”), not backed up.
