Backup Plan

Our Group has decided to fully backup our project with different ways to insure that we have no unexpected outside
complications that prevent us from completing the project on time. Elinor is our archiver and she saves our progress
everyday and every week she sends an update to the rest of the group. Which we backup onto our hard drives at home or on
our cs accounts and onto a cd. Insuring that we have at least 6 back ups of our project.
