Backup Solutions - Where is the Storage Center?

There are a number of questions you need to ask before you choose which online backup service to use. Perhaps it may not have occurred to you that the location of the storage center should be one of them.

However, remember one thing, especially if you live in an area which occasionally experiences wild fires, earthquakes, or major flooding. In this time of climate change, such areas seem to be on the increase.

You hope it would never happen - but obviously if one of these awful events were to happen to you, you would almost certainly lose your computer and with it your data. Of course, this would not be your first concern at the time - but eventually you would be looking to set up your system once more, and retrieve your data. How frustrating it would be if your stored data had been destroyed in the same event, because the storage center was close to where you live!

Ideally, the further away from where you live, the better, as far as data storage and data recovery is concerned. Back Up Solutions is very aware of this issue - backed up data is itself backed up and stored in different places. Not all online backup services do this - make sure you check carefully.
