Ange works as an Administrative Assistant for a small business that uses an SaaS service for sales orders and customer accounting (similar to Salesforce.com). Ange makes sure to save accurate records about current projects, and she performs regular backups of the business data stored on this cloud-based service. Why?
Because the service and records would not be accessible if there is an interruption in Internet access
Because although it is well known that cloud-based services are highly secure, highly reliable and always available, Ange is paranoid and too cautious
Because data stored online through this cloud-based service has more risk to security breaches than if it were stored locally
Because the number of users who are allowed to access the cloud-based service at any time is limited
