Just wondering what other peope are doing to address the need to keep backups 
forever for litigation purposes. I backup individual users desktops as a DR 
effort because our CAD systems holds files local to the user while they modify 
them. However, users also store files locally even though they shouldn't. To 
compound the problem we use the serial number of the computer as the computer 
name. Since we lease, the computer name changes and I start a new client and 
delete the old client in Networker. Is there a better way to do this so that I 
can keep the client index forever if needed?
