You're right about two being one and one being none.

Our current setup includes primary backups to BackBlaze[1], and eventually consistent replications to Scaleway's cold storage[2].

We would like to offer an extra replica as an addon in the future.

Makes sense. You can feel vulnerable in a big hurry if your primary fails or if it turns out that one of your backups wasn't being properly backed up to.

I know a lot of people these days are fine with their stuff mostly just being stored in "the cloud" someplace. But for things like photos, I really want a couple copies under my control to the degree possible.
