can somebody expand on this? I know about the 14 days limitation but this makes it sound like you can store messages for a long time and still recover them somehow?

They're saying you've very unlikely to experience data loss after a message has been saved by SQS. Presumably they have multiple layers of redundancy at varying levels in order to provide this guarantee.
