Remote Backup
Hi, Things are moving in the remote backup capabilities : - Prices for dedicated server dropped - Dropbox is now at a affordable 10€/month and has an interesting snapshot capability - service...
In many industries, "CLOUD" is a 4 letter word. Regardless of policies and encryption, it's too easy for your data to fall into the wrong hands. There are just WAY too many unknowns when using a cloud service. Unlike physical records, it's extremely FAST and EASY to duplicate bits.
Even in the most secure circumstances, it's not very difficult for a single person to steal anything. Look at huge embarrassment the US CIA is suffering lately... When you move to storing data on a "cloud" service, the number of people and circuits (which may or may not be secure) increases dramatically.
Consider me old-fashioned, but the only "secure remote backup" is a physical (local) backup that's hand-carried to a remote location (and locked in a physically secure location.) (That wasn't given as a choice for remote backups in your list.)
