So, you're using email, CRM, file storage, or other cloud programs. Since the data is already in the cloud, do you need to back it up (locally)?
The computing world is always changing. Over the last decade, SaaS (software as a service) providers have offered the convenience of data backup for your cloud applications such as CRM systems, SalesForce, Google Apps and Microsoft Office 365. The business question is, if I’m already working with a SaaS provider and my data is already “in” the cloud, do I really need to back up my data to another cloud? After all, isn’t the SaaS provider doing that for me?
Well, yes and no.
