Agreed. When you actually need to restore something from backup, often you need a fairly recent state. Hours or days ago (and not 7 days ago).
Having something 7 days old might be useful in some cases (especially e.g. DB dump) but it is far from 'good enough'.
I am not sure what's the reason why they do not provide more recent backups (for additional fee, obviously).
Would it be so complicated that the engineering effort required wouldn't make it worth it? Or such a service wouldn't be popular enough among DO users?
