As I pointed out in the other fork of this thread... You CANNOT
expect the cloud service provider to "take care of all worries".
In fact, all the providers are quite careful in their Terms of
Service to NOT accept any responsibility for your data in any way.
They even consider their internal infrastructure to be confidential
-- so you, the customer, have no way of knowing what breed of
gerbils they use to keep their wheels running!
Unless you know of some service that's different?
here has been some discuss in the UK magazine PCPro about the
importance of knowing
which country the servers of a cloud provider are present.
Microsofts cloud service does not specify where the data resides and
so there is concern that
the American government can have access to your data under the "patriot act"
oOo. yea. That's a whole other ball of wax! Many services (eg:
Dropbox, iCloud) are backed by the likes of Amazon's S3 cloud, and
MS' cloud - which have data centers all over the world. Donno if you
can specify where your data is bucketed. Have to look at that! :\
