Seriously, I don't think it is your responsibility to safeguard their
recordings. There are a hundred different reasons for the material to get
lost, backruptcy for one. It can only be the artists responsibility to make
sure he has all the raw material for his recording.

On-the-fly-backups are only important to avoid halt in the actual production
progress. Not for you to be the "National Library" so to speak. ;-)
