You would think so, but then again you might be wrong. Better to be safe than sorry, no? I expected DO to make the backups I was paying them for and they didn't. Luckily I was making my own backups at the same time. Turns out my backups worked and theirs didn't. If I had just trusted them, I'd be out of business just like the dead company in question.

I'm not sure what's so confusing about "don't trust your vendors" but I've had to make this exact same reply way too many times.

Don't trust your vendors!
