Totally understandable! As a service provider, you want to be able to fulfill those requests because it will make you their go-to person for life. Pretty cheap compared to the benefits you can get.
Despite constantly crowing at researchers in my past life that they will lose all their data ... it only happened once or twice, and both times was related to theft and not drive failure.
I wonder if you could sell a type of "archive protection plan" as an add-on to your work. It's like $70 a year to store 500GB on Glacier. I am sort of assuming each shoot is 500GB? You could guarantee access for those customers who want it.
If we're being honest with each other, I would do the exact thing you're doing and focus more on my business. :)
