The discussion raises an interesting point about the effectiveness of using tools to automate replication across multiple providers to address availability issues in the context of data inheritance. It acknowledges that while such tools can significantly mitigate the problem by ensuring data is replicated and available, they do not fully solve the challenge of heirs locating and accessing these copies under potentially stressful conditions long after the original owner's accounts have become inactive. This scenario highlights a distinct coordination problem on the recovery side, separate from the storage issue. The question then shifts towards whether the concept of a custodial fallback serves as a solution to this coordination challenge or if it represents an entirely different layer of the problem that needs addressing. This perspective implies a deeper consideration of how to bridge the gap between data replication for availability and the smooth, stress-free recovery of data by heirs, suggesting the need for innovative solutions that encompass both storage and retrieval dimensions effectively.
