I can't express how much I love hetzner doing this. There is a huge market for people who just need some instances and reliable/cheap object storage to run their apps.

I'm not saying you're going to lose data or that it is a bad product. It's for a different use case.

I have a cluster of servers where storage box has been used for passing data between serves for batch processing. Not a lot of data but if it is not available, the while system is down. I learned the hard way. Plus they sometimes change IP addresses which is bad of you have a strict firewall.

But for backing up postgres and some other files, Storage Box is great value and it's not a problem at all if it's down for a few hours.
