Sure. Let's go with 1TB for $90. Now I have to make sure the client brings
the drive in, backs up, and takes it home every day. Try explaining to them
why that isn't worth the $3/mo that that Amazon charges them. You won't be

Woe is fricking me!
My granfather and his accountant were alternately bringing home 13"
disk packs 30 years ago. They've obviously got newer hardware now
(tape drives), and he's passed on, but the blazingly simple task is
still the same: bring your important data off-site every night.
It's just Something You Do.

2. Pay Amazon $3/mo and don't worry about it;
