If you are going to provide the storage make sure that it is a Raid storage device. You can find some small form factor units with hot swap hdd for a few hundred dollars
Yes, that is an improvement, but raid is NOT a backup. What if the controller goes bad and scrambles the data on the drives? Or a drive goes bad and the customer ignores it and then the next drive goes bad?
If the data isn't excessively large a local raid setup with regular backups to a cloud repository (dropbox/google/etc) would protect the data sufficiently for a residential use.
