I already centrally backup 'in house' but when you have 127G of photos of peoples thumbs included in that data that they wouldn’t be able to get at should I be hit by a bus ( and die of surprise) and every machine has a dvd writer and we have a box of dvd r+s I thought it would be nice to get them to backup their own rubbish and keep it safe themselves.
