Everyone should have them, but it should not require an IT department to accomplish it.
Oh sure, we should allow end users to backup the plans for a $150k project, oops, the disk dies, oh well, I guess it works for the IRS and speaking of them, they ARE THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF NEEDING A QUALITY IT DEPARTMENT.
You have proven time and time again you don't have a clue how IT departments and computers work.
And by the way, get off my lawn!
