Re: Backup recommendations

I think it ran a little off topic and I should have probably responded
individually rather than to the group. My apologies. I think it stemmed
from not having to backup an exchange server or other self-hosted email and
outsourcing it instead.

You are right about the younger students and having them login to google for
a doc, which is why we still used a mixed system. Once you get them
started, however, you would be surprised with the intuitive collaboration
that occurs.
