A backup plan probably involves using some other company/service that can suffer the same fate 😭

I mean any technology solution can suffer the same fate, but you would hope that it wouldnt be an issue at the same time.

The real solution is to not make anything that’s mission-critical reliant on Windows.

Specifically to make something which is not mission-critical reliant on any underlying software…but that’s almost impossible. Not reliant on the base operating system would be a nice start.
