I'd say the opposite: Unless they clearly state they _do_ backups, they are not (legally) responsible for doing so.

- isleyaardvark 16y agoThat's what data hosting is. If they were doing webhosting, sure, but the article repeatedly states they were doing "data hosting". Here's the company's web page detailing their data backup plan: http://www.cyberlynk.net/services_corporate/dsp_backup.cfm http://www.cyberlynk.net/services_corporate/dsp_backup.cfm
- gm 16y agoWhat I'm saying is that whatever is in the contract is what matters. Data hosting, web hosting, data storage, whatever terms are used matter little. EDIT: Case in point: We probably all agree that dropbox could be called "data storage", but they specifically say that backups and backup costs are to be done by the client (http://www.dropbox.com/dmca#terms http://www.dropbox.com/dmca#terms), not by them.
