  "For Google Apps customers, our RPO design target is zero, and our
   RTO design target is instant failover. We do this through live or
   synchronous replication: every action you take in Gmail is
   simultaneously replicated in two data centers at once, so that if
   one data center fails, we nearly instantly transfer your data over
   to the other one that's also been reflecting your actions."



   Our goal is not to lose any data when it's transferred from one
   data center to another, and to transfer your data so quickly that
   you don't even know a data center experiences an interruption. Of
   course, no backup solution from us or anyone else is absolutely
   perfect, but we've invested a lot of effort to help make it second
   to none."

  "And it's not just to preserve your Gmail accounts. You get the same
   level of data replication for all the other major applications in
   the Apps suite: Google Calendar, Google Docs, and Google Sites."

  "Here are a few of the reasons why we're able to offer you this level
   of service. First, we operate many large data centers simultaneously
   for millions of users, which helps reduce cost while increasing
   resiliency and redundancy. Second, we're not wasting money and
   resources by having a data center stand-by unused until something
   goes wrong - we can balance loads between data centers as needed.

   Finally, we have very high speed connections between data centers,
   so that we can transfer data very quickly from one set of servers to
   another. This let us replicate large amounts of data simultaneously."
