+ Data restoration time is dependant on backup type (external Hard Drive, Tape backup, CD-R, DVD-R, etc) but is approximately 1.5 hours per 20Gb data

++ OS and Software reinstallation presumes copies of the necessary software already located and present -- approximate 3 hours labor time

+++ Hard drive replacement typically takes approx 1 hour, hardware replacement costs dependant on size and type of drive

++++ System image restoration takes approximately 5 mins per 2 Gb of image file

** Hardware replacement costs and downtime dependant on nature of hardware to be replaced. Ranges from .5 hours for basic componant to 2 hours for major system malfunction
