+Case studies
+============
+
+This chapter goes through, in some detail, some typical use cases for
+backups. For case, it discusses the data being backed up, and explains
+choices of backup strategy, storage, etc. Some case studies:
+
+* Single laptop user, typical data of documents, photos, music,
+ backing up to a USB hard drive.
+* A VPS or similar server, with web pages, e-mail, and maybe other
+ data, backed up to another server.
+* A small company with a number of laptops and desktops, a local file
+ server, a rented co-lo server, backing up to a rented server in a
+ co-lo and to a rotated set of large USB drives.
+* Restoring from a complete disaster, where all local computers and
+ storage media are destroyed, but there is an off-site backup that
+ is intact.
