I'd be surprised if they needed backups for a few hours of downtime with (reportedly) complete recovery where no data was corrupted. There are industries where this would be required, and it's possible I guess, but neither of these downtime events were "data loss" events, just availability events for short-ish periods of time that wouldn't - for me - result in activating our DR plans.

I must admit that I do always try and maintain a separate data backup for true disaster recovery scenarios - but those are mainly focused around AWS locking me out of our AWS account (and hence we can't access our data or backups) or recovering from a crypto scam hack that also corrupts on-platform backups, for example.
