To which Commodore Clifford replies...

They're not going to care... all they'll do is image whatever they have
for you and it's up to you to figure that out.  So whatever kind of
"storage account" you have set up with whatever cloud provider you have
out there will be restored.  The structure of that data is not their
concern, it's yours.  If you have that structured out to "emulate" a
dozen floppy drives, that's what you'll get back when they restore a
backup.  It's different with each type of storage account out there, but
it's basically about "what you had, that's what you get back".
