Fire destroys S. Korean government's cloud storage system, no backups available

> sufficiently secure and independent locations

This kind of provision requires enforcement and verification. Thus, a tech spec for the backup procedure. Knowing Germany good enough, I'd say that these tech spec would be detrimental for the actual safety of the backup.

Not wild.

When you live in Germany and are asked to send a FAX (and not a mail, please). Or a digital birth certificate is not accepted until you come with lawyers, or banks not willing to operate with Apple pay, just to name few..

Speculation, yes, but not at all wild

I'm German and in my 45 years of being so have never been required to send a fax. Snail mail yes, but never a fax.

Agree. It is based on my experience with German bureaucracy.
