I love it when people tell me spending more money and time and effort on something that is less flexible, reliable or performant is somehow saving money, time and effort. I think you do not understand what you are talking about and you're giving me marketing spin, in fact that must be the case. You're simply wrong. I've explained it, you're not listening.

Of course the kicker is that this is in a thread about how a bug in Amazon means that the EBS volumes that were allegedly being backed up, actually weren't.
