I see in my email that Reclaim is requiring that we move all "advanced CloudLinux applications" from cpanel to Reclaim Cloud, which means for me the long-anticipated migration of my whole website to cloud containers, something I've been hesitant to commit to because clouds can go poof! "This risk is important to understand," write the authors, "otherwise, all the vital SaaS data you rely on each and every day could disappear in the blink of an eye." Of course, there are ways to minimize that risk, and it's a risk that exists for any digital data, not just cloud data. But the main point here is that "a data continuity strategy is essential," and that's as true for individuals like myself as it is for large enterprises (indeed, maybe even more true).
