How the hell would you let the faith of your entire enterprise data in the hand of Amazon? Offsite/offline backup are mandatory especially when you deal with this kind of data.
Real companies don't. I know a major video provider in Cambridge that replicates everything to S3 and Google Cloud storage for this very reason. Now, neither has ever gone down for them, but if you've got to stay up, you have a resilient architecture.
