As the saying goes: if you only have one backup you have zero backups.
How the fuck does Google of all companies manage to accidentally delete that‽
Everything is tied to the subscriptions, they deleted the sub and that automatically deleted all backups.
That sounds like a pretty trashy backup scheme. I don't care what your subscription status is I'm keeping those backups until retension's over.
Very stupid.
AWS has a holding period after account deletion where nothing is actually deleted, just inaccessible and access can be regained without data loss.
Since first hearing about this I’m wondering how TF Google Cloud doesn’t have a similar SOP.
