This happened when its account was wiped out due to a technical error on Google’s part. At the time, UniSuper indicated it had lost everything it had stored with Google, even its backups, and that caused two weeks of downtime for its 647,000 members. They were able to recover because their multi cloud strategy included data backup off the Google Cloud to another service [1, 2].
