okay, not related with this topic but if I use ms azure for hosting instead of renting my own physical one, would I guarantee that my sql data will always be there ?
Azure has triple redundancy, but that's not always enough. It's replicated, which is good, but what if your client deletes a table. The delete gets replicated, as it should, and you lose data.
You don't need HA as much with Azure, but you do need some DR and some backups.
