What happens in the event of data loss?
Much like the answer for costs, we go back to this: it depends. Encrypted data that gets corrupted can be harder to recover, but it's not impossible. Your cloud provider will have a policy in place in the event of data loss, which outlines the recovery measures they’ll take. Make sure to ask the provider about these strategies before any loss occurs, and try to get some examples of how they’ve recovered data in the past.
These answers should get you thinking about cloud computing and what it takes to propel your business toward the cloud. The biggest advantage: you may never have to crawl under that desk again.
