The ASP backup scenario is more complicated than that. Katrina demonstrated this as the disaster covers an area of over 90,000 sq miles. An ASP might have a backup facility in another city or state rather than providing a local backup to individual clients. Local backups is also an option. Imagine the scenario where the ASP was in New Orleans and the backup in Biloxi. In this case whether you had backups done locally or the first case I mentioned, both would have failed. This whole issue of backup and recovery for the clinic situation is a difficult nut to crack in a cost effective manner that really works.
