Microsoft has been ordered to provide documents stored in an Ireland data centre to the US government. http://www.datacenterdynamics.com/focus/archive/2014/08/microsoft-ordered-hand-over-dublin-data. Will this hinder US companies offering cloud services?

    "I took all my stuff off "the cloud" and backed it up locally. Then made a backup of the backup and moved it to another location. There is no way I'd put anything important in the cloud, one day I'll need it and it won't be there."

    Why does backing it up to the cloud mean you have to put your only copy there?

    Good point, and it's worth a self note to myself to post before partaking in a couple of brandy's. I could have worded that much better :)
