Hi,

I have several home and small business in my area with no backup installed on their business computers. I have a Windows 2003 Server with DSL, some of the home businesses would like to backup there work to my server. I would like to know the safest and most secure way of doing this.

Thank you

Depening on how much liability insurance you are carrying for data guarantee and amount of data you are backing up, I would recommend that you sell your business clients a tape back solution.

Design a data recovery solution with documentation specific to each client's requirements.

Consult with your insurance company covering your business on your potential liability in the event a client experiences a loss. I would also recommend that you have legal counsel draw up a contract holding you blameless in the event of data loss.

Don't try and back up data to your home server. You are just ASKING to get your pants sued off.
