I take the typical formulation (e.g., [1]), and translate it into:
- Keep 3 copies of your data: production + 2.
- Keep 2 snapshots, stored separately.
- Keep 1 snapshot on-hand (literally in your possession), or with a different provider.
It's great to see more options for "different provider". If I were an early adopter, I would either target this as my on-Hetzner snapshot of my Hetzner-hosted data, and replicate it elsewhere; or I would consider trialing it as a backup to non-Hetzner data. To your point, though, I'd probably wait on the latter until it has gone through some growing pains.
