I feel dummy, I never really consider the disaster situation. I guess removable disks and have them out of the complex is best. The main concern with this company is the data in case that something happens to the OSs and the computers are unbootable. They already had a problem but I was able to restore everything and decided to have a secondary drive just to make it easier in the future if the problem arises once again. I think the niece of the owner plays with his computer from time to time. Isn't that nice? I will look forward to setup some kind of removable drive if they want the expense and your "protecting yourself about one kind of related incident" comment will be a good argument and will save my butt in the future if they do not think is necessary.
