In the world of cloud, this should be pretty trivial. Upload your daily dumps / asset metadata to S3/GCS/ABS.

Set a retention policy I.e even if someone ran some delete command it wouldn’t delete. Someone with retention lock permissions is the only one that can remove the locks And delete.

There is cold storage and other things even cheaper. But cloud object prices are pretty cheap per GB it’s ridiculous.

I think they make most of the margins on bandwidth.

Losing customer data. All customer data is pretty ridiculous. I can understand downtime. I can understand losing a day of changes. But everything? That’s just unacceptable business.
