Depending on your business and your data retention requirements, you may opt for either onsite or offsite data storage. The challenge is that each of these methods present their own advantages and disadvantages.

Storage	Advantages	Disadvantages
Onsite	Quick and Easy backup to a networked device Fast Recovery from Primary Storage Failure Low Cost - One-time investment in storage device. Scalable - Only add storage when needed.	Subject to Human Error - Requires someone to remember to perform backup and/or take storage offsite. Risk of Theft or Vandalism Corruptable Storage Device or Media Catastrophic Distaster = Complete Data Loss - Fire, flood, or other disaster
Offsite	Redundant Data Storage - Multiple Backup Copies Automated Backup - Eliminates Human Error Unlimited Data Retention Scalable as data load increases Geography - Stored in Multiple Locations	High Cost per GB of Data Stored Requires Internet Access Bandwidth Intensive - initial and ongoing backup can be time consuming depending on size Lengthy Data Restoration Process
