Breakages like the power outages in San Diego are, statistically,
almost as unlikely as a disconnected internet uplink at whichever
hosting site.  Just to put a random example.  I wouldn't consider this
as a substantial argument.

An incomplete 'full' backup, limited by current disk space on the
backup VM, is, currently, approx. 110 GByte.  That's just the bare
minimum and still requires a lot of work to get one ore more machines
back into a working state,
