All that said in close to a decade (actually might be a decade) I've still yet to have any issue with linode (tempting the computer gods here) or their backups.
I remember when DO was first starting out and they used to knock their own stuff offline updating router tables.
Ever since I have a jaundiced view of their capabilities.
Linode backups start to fail when you have more then 3 million files on a drive.
When debugging this, they told me the reason, I did a snapshot that worked, and then they turned off backups because they were failing. They didn’t highlight that backups were now off.
Restores on the larger machines can take 5+ hours, and they will often report that the restore failed if you are restoring a drive that contains docker’s pipe files.
