Re: This is a Local shop for Local People
Yes, but if one supermarket chain has a major problem, you can easily shop in another one.
Not so easy for data if all your data is locked up in one company's infrastructure, and it has a bad day/week. Yes, you could possibly also use another as a live backup (if you can convince someone that it would be worth the expenditure), but I imagine it would be quite some headache trying to hot swap over from one to the other!
