    Business have plenty of reason to use this. Backing up several terabytes in a proper 3-2-1 setup is expensive.

      That’s what I meant, for commercial use, sure. But not for private, ever.

        I have a pet peeve when people are dismissive about things that are “only” for commercial use. Commercial is a huge market, especially when it comes to IT things. Almost every company on Earth can benefit from better backup solutions. You may not see them personally, but they help run the things that you use all the time.
