**Thinking about moving you email or server to the cloud?**
Excerps from emails from friends caught in the Christchurch earthquakes.
 * It is easy to think that all services and critical information is safe if it is onsite, guarded by you and with a backup on disc (mostly kept at home). But is this really the case?**

"If you want to chat, give me a call or email. (My office was destroyed in the earthquake so no landline currently -so best to email to chat)"

"If any schools are still wondering if it is a good idea to trust their email services to the cloud then the recent Christchurch experience is a good example of why you should in fact be doing the reverse and wondering why it is you trust your email services to be run locally. We are certainly glad that Mr Google kept our email ticking along nicely while our office was without power and cordoned off for 3 days ;-)"

Something to think about as you look to upgrading services or securing data!
