Presumably to have this survivable you would want multiple replicated hosts sitting out in the cloud with no content on them other than pointers to content. All the content is out on the cloud as disparate objects. That provides an attacker a two pronged problem. It is not sufficient just to bring down the hosts or a DoS attack. That only removes the pointers to the content but not the content itself. If they do bring down the hosts the attackers ability to remove the content is much harder. The attacker must take over the hosts to systematically remove the content. A different kettle of fish.
