### Decide where to store your backups

Where you are storing your backups is also important for disaster recovery. Most cloud storage solutions have durability guarantees. However, an outage could occur in the region containing your live service and backups. If your service has very high availability requirements, you may need copies of your data in a different region, or with a different service provider. Your conversations with IA and service owners can help you determine your risk tolerance for these hopefully rare scenarios.
