Thanks for the prompt response. > DBAN is not physical destruction, which is what we do. We do it this way because it's the only way to guarantee that your data will disappear, forever.

We're not really a big corporation, though. We're a little hospital in a mountain town with maybe 5,000 people in it, tops. We still shell out the big bucks for data security because we're well aware that it's cheap compared to a HIPAA breach.

Done. :)
