Its not so much the space (heck, the machines I admin at the University
have about 75 TB of space, I'm sure I could squeeze my email in there
somewhere and noone would notice). Also, I don't know how I'd retrieve
them from you at 3 in the morning, which I'll bet will be the time when
I need them. :) Isn't that how it always goes.
Its the recovery and sorting that I'm not to clear about, and I don't
want to try something and lose things because I didn't think them
through.
Its a nice offer though.
Thanks,
Carl
