Normally, folks in an office would back up their essential files by photocopying it and filing it away in an aptly named folder, then placing it into a filing cabinet for archival purposes.

Servers, printers, fax machines, and filing cabinets all have their proper place. This will improve the flow of foot traffic within the office, and it will also give employees the opportunity to get up and stretch their legs.
