I was worried: if an asteroid hit Palo Alto would all my family pictures be destroyed?
I store all my family pictures online, using Facebook, Twitpic, and Google's Picasa as cloud storage. Most of my pictures are downloaded to Picasa.
Both Google and Facebook are headquartered in Palo Alto, California. Being a believer in Bible prophecy, I know that soon 3 mountains (asteroids) will hit the earth, signalling the beginning of the Tribulation. What if one of those asteroids hit Palo Alto?I did some research on the reliability of cloud storage for my documents and photos and found out that Google automatically backs up all data on a server in a separate geographical location. Their goal is 0 downtime for recovery, 0 data lost.
They are the cloud storage for the City Of Los Angeles, a city ripe for physical disaster. Google's stated goal of uptime of 99.9 for their email services has been greatly exceeded by their performance. Their honeypot award of $20,000 for any hacker that can break into their system has never been claimed.
I think I'm going to lay this worry to rest.
