....I was wondering if there was anyone out there who could help me with
a file backup question?  We are currently exploring using cloud
technology here at my museum to backup a lot of our archived files.
This includes all files pertaining to object information, lenders, loan
agreements, exhibition photos, museum tour schedules, etc.  I have to
admit, I am a bit nervous about using the cloud myself, but if security
is not an issue it can be quite helpful when the museum staff is working
in several geographic locations.  Also, staff would only have access to
files pertinent to them (i.e., the only people with access to the
collections files would be myself and the Director).  

 Does anyone out there use (or have discussed using) this type of
technology, either for work use or personal use?  If so, are there any
companies that you would recommend?   

Any insight or help would be appreciated!
