Or you could just source and store on the cloud.

There. A 2 thousand word solution verses a 10 word solution.

You answered a "what" or a "how" question.

The article addressed a "why" question.

I'm not putting my data on a computer I don't have physical control over. I'm not going to rely on applications on a computer/computers that I have no control over.

Cloud may work for some. For others, it's a huge potential liablitity.

Can’t “cloud” things in my business due to privacy concerns.

However, I do not agree with running my business on brand x computers, either.

After having been in the business for 30 years prior to my current job, brand x just won’t cut it.....

Maybe it is my age but I am just not comfortable with the cloud. In fact it creeps me out.

My customers rely on my keeping their information confidential so notes and such are kept on a non-internet connected computer. You want it then you are going to have to break into my house and take the computer it's self and good luck decrypting it.

Even my less confidential stuff I would not store out in cyberspace. There is too much loss of control.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm setting up a small business tech system right now, and I'm not going to have anything locally, no files, no applications, nothing except the operating system (right now, Google Chrome). All of the problems cited by the OP are thereby eliminated. Everything's backed up always, hardware failures will always result in zero downtime because there will always be other devices around to log-in from, no software to purchase, no compatibility issues, no malware, viruses, or manual updates. All files are available anywhere out in the field, from all kinds of device, including smartphones and tablets. Yes, it's not "confidential", but the only way to entirely eliminate the possibility of someone seeing your files is to stay off the internet completely (at least on the computer in question) and a computer not connected to the internet in 2012 makes about as much sense to me as a cell phone without a voice and data plan.

What about if you left your Ouija Board in your other suit and can't access the cloud?
