BuyerZone user comments: remote data backup purchasing requirements

"We are a graphic design and marketing company and have 10 years of tapes and CD's that we want to keep safe by having them stored here and elsewhere. We do not necessarily need to access the storage....but have it in case we were to lose what we have here on the the CD's or tapes. We would need to send out the CD's and tapes that are now in our storage."
