Not all backup services are automatically region-redundant. By default, many providers (like AWS Backup or Azure Backup) store data in a single region unless you choose cross-region replication. At SaaSpedia, we’ve seen SaaS companies assume redundancy was “built in,” only to lose critical data during a regional outage. In fact, a Gartner study found that 60% of outages in cloud services are region-specific. A smarter setup is enabling geo-redundant storage (GRS) or multi-region backups. The extra cost is small compared to the risk, because if your only copy lives in one region, your business is one outage away from downtime and lost trust.
