David, Ain't that the truth!! Although I don't run a business off my computer, I use several of them regularly as part of my work as a college professor. I keep student records, research papers, letters, memos, schedules, etc. Failure to back up can prove a disaster. It's really a shame that most of us, me included, tend to get complacent and develop that: "well it's working so well today, guess I'll wait until tomorrow to do backups." Of course after several weeks of "tomorrows" it's too late to recover from that blackout, power failure, etc. What is really needed is both the hardware/software for automatic background backups. But even then, I'd probably get lazy and forget to turn something on!!
