Our tech industry is very heavily concentrated along the west coast. When the “Big One” does finally strike, it could literally crash our economy overnight.
Bad exaggeration. The idea that Silicon Valley/Seattle intellectual property, hardware and software are not decentralized, redundant and backed up, is silly. Really think people smart enough to create those companies haven't gone through 'what if' earthquake drills, simulations and 'stress tests'?

Another feather in the cloud cap: What you gain from Backup-as-a-Service

Like DRaaS, BaaS involves some level of decentralization in how key information is handled. Traditional backups are concentrated in on-premises facilities, which offer a high level of control but are uniquely vulnerable to disruption; in contrast, BaaS leverages the scale of cloud-based resources to ensure secure and dependable backup via a public, private or hybrid cloud.
The cloud infrastructure shields backups from many possible dangers, everything from an electrical outage at the main office to a sudden budget-busting need for additional storage that leads to massive over-provisioning of storage resources. Moreover, the BaaS solution is manageable from a single platform, meaning that you can reduce the amount of floor space you dedicate to equipment as well the expenses for the maintenance and cooling associated with it.
