Different levels of trust can be placed in different providers for different types of data. Oracle is however at the bottom of the list with regard to trust.
Sufficiently different that you wouldn't backup your data at more locations? I don't think there is a single provider I'd trust that much, at least for data I really need to be still exist while I'm alive.
Yes, some paid ones that encrypt the data and have been in business for many years. They're not publicly listed in the stock market, and so they don't have to put up with the self-destructing demands of shareholders
Interesting, you're certainly more brave than me :) One of the places I used for backups been around for 2 decades, I still wouldn't trust them enough to store my only copy of something.
I use mirroring and version control for the most important files, just not for files that I can possibly do without, but yes, it would be good to have.
Famously, the most litigious and generally obnoxious to deal with enterprise software company on the planet. Or ale doesn’t have customers, they have hostages.
I find that Oracle has tremendous generosity on individual level. That's how people become familiar with their products and services.
It's when you're in production and particularly as a billion+ dollar company that screws get properly tightened!
But from the time I was a student in 90s to occasional dabbler now, I find their free / personal / individual / non-prod offerings to in fact be extremely generous.
