I sort of do this with some files using a wonderful little tool called 'second copy' which can schedule copies of the medical director backup or even a 3g image file to any other spot on the network including dvd drive (DVD RAM) so it is all totally automatic. So for example, live state recovery takes an image and can write it to any other computer on the network. Then the image can simply be copied direct to dvd ram automatically to give a take home copy. I also take home every day a dvd ram with simple copies eg of the compressed md3 file (3x daily) which is automatically ready just to slip out of the workstation or server into its cover and take home.

This reminds me of the sort of thing one does with NTbackup in 2000 server with tapes. With MD, running the task scheduler to backup to a compressed file in a folder, then running command lines for the other data, then schedule this command line would be quite a good method. Depends on the range of data sources the practice uses.
