Not to mention what if a fire or flood gets to your PC, those with a home based business with all thier content and files on those PCs are going to be in for a world of hurt.
Good call.

I suggest everybody read the book "BluePrints for High Availability" .. can get it for about $32 on amazon, and it gives you a whole new perpective of the meaning of downtime for your sites.
