* Pay $200/year for an online backup service that uses old, mediocre software.
* Buy a $200 external hard drive and hope your office doesnt burn down.
* Do nothing and dont worry about backup. (We suggest closing your eyes, plugging your ears and repeating "Im in my happy place, Im in my happy place".)
