-In order to answer to these questions, we prepared some systems (hardware and software) that work for us and that save/backup/move our data in an automatic fashion. This way the human intervention (and so the possibility of error) is reduced at the minimum.\\

-The most important thing that humans and computer share is just one: **the data of the users**. No matter what kind of computer, interface, network connection or whatever else mechanical/logical device users can/must use: if they can't access their data (stored inside the computer), problem arise. For a user isn't important where or how the data are saved, the only important thing is that hi/her needs access to these data, even in case of his/hers fault or in case of technical problems (yes, earthquake and flood are just technical problems).
