In addition to having a copy of your data: whether to tape drives, C.D.'s, D.V.D.'s, USB Flash Drives or to external hard drives, but it can also be vital for file transport to other businesses, clients or to your home.

Should you have pictures of grandma at least burn those pictures to a CD or two.
