Right on.  One would never back that stuff up in the first place so what

Well, you'd be supprised how many people do back things like that up.
I'm not saying I'm advocating it, but it happens. They want their entire
hard drive backed up dammit, and that's what they'll get if they scream
long enough.

The proposal I've recommended is central document storage on some sort
of SAN/NAS, and the backups are happening locally. Much better in my
mind, but we have a battle to fight to get there.
