    If a meteor were to hit where you guys keep the data for our projects, do you guys have a separate backup location for our projects? Year after year I become more worried that some terrible event could wipe out my project and I was wondering if you guys had a secondary backup location just in case something happened to the primary storage drives.

    And if this isn't the case, would you guys consider a premium plan where data was backed up maybe every month at another location automatically? It wouldn't have to be the full repository with prior revisions, just a failsafe that every week or month or whatever, you make a backup of all projects and save it on a safe backup drive at another location.

    P.S. been loving the integration of Plastic SCM in Unity, does everything I need it to with a great built in UI.

    Could you open a ticket at devops-vcs-support@unity3d.com? We will check with the security team about what information we can share about our cloud infrastructure and we will let you know.

    Thank you very much for your words! :)

    I was reffered to this link:
    https://support.unity.com/hc/en-us/...Cloud-How-does-Plastic-SCM-cloud-backup-work-

    I'm still not 100% sure if our projects are stored in just one repository, or if a backup exists just in case in a physically alternate location, not just a different chunk of data in the same data center.

    I would feel a lot more confident in this service if I knew my project existed on a backup somewhere at a different location if the worst ever happened like a flood, building fire, solar flare, whatever.

    Our cloud infrastructure uses data redundancy. It involves backups, snapshots y multiple distributed data copies. But you can always, create your own backups. Your Plastic installation includes a local server where you can pull your cloud repos and locally creates backups.
