Submission + - Small Business Backup Practices

Bithmus writes: I have been tasked with finding a new way for our company to handle our laptop backups. We currently have nightly backups of our servers, but no backups of laptops. In our business we sell, implement and develop another companies software. I guess that makes us a Valued Added Reseller. During development our consultants will create copies of a customers database on MSDE on their laptops. If a hard drive crashes, all of the work done on that laptop is lost. In addition there are other files that need to be saved, but the databases are really the important items. Ideally these databases would be stored on the SQL servers and the other files stored on the file server, but this is not happening. What do Slashdot readers do to protect data on laptops or computers outside of a local network?
