That's not strong enough. That wording seems to assume we get
warning that a migration is necessary and have time to execute it
before we can't any more. Really you'd want to have regular backups
of all that, someplace controlled by the project so that in the case
of a no warning shutdown, recovery is possible without losing much
data.
Yes, good point; there's absolutely the risk of a hosted solution abruptly
going offline. And as in the old sysadmin saying, it's not really a backup
until you've proven you can restore.
