Backup Exec.cloud

Does anyone know when Symantec Backup Exec.cloud will be available in Austria and under what pricing?

Also, does anyone know the location of the servers where our data would be stored (Europe? US?)?

Finally, does anyone know how private, safe, and secure our data would be (Would the CIA, the FBI, or similar companies have access to our data?)?

Any input is appreciated, thank you in advance.

  • I will post here the answers I got from a Symantec rep, in case anyone else is interested (thank you user CraigV for the suggestion and links that made it possible):

    "1.When will Symantec Backup Exec.cloud be available in Austria?
    BE.cloud will be available in EMEA in Q1 CY 2012. There is currently a Beta underway, and users can sign up by filling out the form located here: http://www.symanteccloud.com/backup_exec_beta

    2.How will Symantec Backup Exec.cloud be priced in Austria?
    BE.cloud is priced per front end GB (that is, the amount of data selected for backup), and will be sold in blocks of 10GB capacities. There is no pricing published as of yet for EMEA.

    3.What is the location of the servers where our data would be stored? Is that negotiable?
    There will be one data center located in the Netherlands which would store backup data. This is the only option today.

    4.How private, safe, and secure would our data be? Would the CIA, FBI, and/or similar organizations have access to our data?
    Data is encrypted via AES 256 bit encryption, and all agent communication is via HTTPS. As Symantec is a US company, the US Patriot Act could conceivably come into play – although that is an unlikely scenario.
