I asked that question Hetzner support and they admitted doing the same

Better to be honest about having weak backups so users can plan accordingly, than to lie about how safe the data is and lull users into a false sense of security...

the OVH contract relating to automatic backup stipulates that a backup of the VPS server is scheduled daily, exported, and then replicated three times before being available in the customer space, and that the storage space allocated to the 'back-up option is physically isolated from the infrastructure in which the VPS server is set up.'
