If your staff are already collecting her money and keeping a manual record of 
her billings and receipts, they may as well do it in MYOB for her.

Which means that her MYOB data on your system (I hope that her MYOB data files 
will actually be on your server) will be included in your system backups.  We 
back up everything on our server every day.

She would need to sign a contract absolving your practice from any liability 
for incorrect data entry by your staff or loss of her data.

That will be her problem.
