SaaS?

Should you use SaaS (Software As A Service)?

Yes you can, if:
1. You do not have capital to invest in infrastructure
2. You do not care about data back up

I think SaaS is a great concept and most of it comes for free. But relying on something like salesforce.com or any other similar platform for storing your information, without enough back up plan, sounds risky to me.

What if the service goes down?
How do you take care of backing up of data?

Data backup is mandatory from conpliance perspective. So if you are using AWS or Google Apps, how do you accomplish this?
