I hope nobody pays you for this service.
1) You give them a false sense of security. If data's important enough to
back up, it should be done VERY often, which means daily for some people,
weekly for others. Or, to simplify things, it should be done as often as any
new work is done on the machine. How often do you take out peoples' hard
disks?
2) Hard disks are rugged, but still susceptible to damage from static
electricity. Every time you remove one, you are putting someone's data and
hardware at risk. That's stupid.
