Why not?  What am I missing?

For Fossil and for SQLite, our "backup" is 3 copies of the
repositories for each project, running in three different datacenters,
using two separate providers, plus all the local copies we have of
each repo.  The main repositories stay synced with each other
automatically (using cron jobs on the servers).  On my (numerous)
development machines, I frequently do "fossil all sync" which
synchronizes all my private copies of the various repos as well.

So there are many copies of each project, each copy including all
history going back many years, stored at multiple sites around the
world, and constantly updated.

How can a backup strategy improve on that?
