The big difference between you and Wall Street, the Wall Street spend more that $10 for 250GB of storage and I dont think they use LEB market for it
Sure. Having backups in geographically separate locations is quite realistic for LET users. I do it for anything important and I don't see the big deal. Even small bits of separation can help: where I worked all our live data was replicated in a separate rack in another part of the DC on a separate power circuit. That way if (e.g.) a fire, halon dump, or electrical zap took out a rack or aisle of racks, we wouldn't be hosed. Daily backups were stored in a remote DC, in case an earthquake or something took out the DC where our main stuff was. We weren't Wall Street either. This was just common sense. We were on AWS but LEB users could do the same thing.
I don't see any problem with replicating data using LEB plans. Lowendspirit (the cheapest of all the LEB plans) was designed partly for that purpose.
Yes, but just doing that doesn't get you the things you claim it gets you. The most important part of having backups is doing a recovery of the systems. The job is simply not done just because you buy a distant storage server and start dumping data there. It is bad advice to keep going on about making more and more copies.
