Hey Sytze - what you mentioned below - got me thinking about something I 
had worked on in the past - which I keep thinking I should revive it. 
But, will respond more directly 2 U offline...

As an example, I developed a simple routine whereby my client can click a
button and it sends their backup (of my accounting package) to my server.
I charge $25 per month for this, and at this stage, my income exceeds $1000
per month.
This is just passive income and workload is 5 mins per week


I tell the client
1  I keep every daily backup file for 12 months
2  If they fail to send for 3 days, I will nag them (I email or sms them)
3  I promise to check backup files for validity/integrity

What do YOU have (and can be shared)
