This happened when I read about the Gmail failure and this article on a survey of Small and Medium Business (SMB) use of cloud-based services. [...]

I agree with Jarrod. Im not surprised with the findings as it more or less matchings with the trend I’m witnessing in the corporate world today. In fact its an interesting topic of the eternal debate – ERP v/s SaaS. Always looked at the topic from a large biz point of view but its interesting to know that the story isnt very different in the SMB space.

The results are interesting but not surprising. I suspect that for many in the SMB market, they are operating with a bit of ignorance here. Specifically as it relates to offsite backup. Having a backup onsite is important for immediate access to restore files, but most SMB’s don’t consider the possibility that there may be need to recover form a disaster.
