>snapshot doesn't provide any protection from a failure in the underlying storage
That depends on how snapshot storage is implemented by the hosting provider. They can use different storage for it, or tapes or whatever. On AWS I can easily have my snapshots on Glacier or copy them to a different data center.
How do you move your EBS snapshots to Glacier?
Use an Amazon S3 lifecycle.
Can you link any docs for that? I believe a lifecycle is attached to an S3 bucket, and there's no bucket for EBS snapshots as they're tied to EC2.
