Reminds me of the incident last year when a South Korean government's server room caught fire, which contained the government equivalent of Google Drive, and the only backup was in the same room, and they all burnt down together.
Some data was permanently lost, and then officers told reporters that multi-regional backup was not yet built because it was too hard at such a massive scale... of 858 TB.

There are probably many S3 buckets in existence that are bigger than that.
Not saying that they should've used S3, but it's definitely possible configure multi-regional backup (and a government can afford it).
My home theater setup has more storage than that.
