I was reading a thread previously, where people were suggesting the legal implications of keeping an image of a client's HDD, or even keeping copies of their data for "backup" purposes (e.g. backing up client's data before a n&p so you can restore it later on). Anyway...I was thinking it might make for a good thread to try and come up with a basic "Backup/Data Retention" Disclaimer...
I'll start..feel free to edit/modify/add whatever you think would benefit the disclaimer....I'll update my original post as we reach a general consensus?
