Is it common for cloud-based backup services like Synology C2 to store data in a single location (vs. multiple data centers spread across geographically diverse locations)?
I had an interesting exchange with Synology about their new C2 service based in Seattle, Washington, USA. They advised that both Seattle and Frankfurt C2 rely on a single data center at each site; with no cross-site or alternate-site sharing. Unfortunately, I live on the Olympic Peninsula - rural area about 100 miles northwest of Seattle - close enough that we share risks from volcanic activity (e.g. Mt. Saint Helens in 1980) - as well as a common threat from earthquake and tsunami. When I discussed this with Synology, they advised that I consider Frankfurt C2; but I am reluctant (not familiar with other risks inherent in crossing geo-political jurisdictions).
Are there other Synology-friendly U.S. based cloud services that offer geographic diversity with their data centers? We will be storing less than ~250GB on the cloud with typically less than 1GB added/changed data, daily.
Thanks for comments/suggestions. Ron
