I am not a lawyer, and you would be a fool to use NANOG for legal =
advice, but if I were to charge something for this, I would want
to be able to justify the charge in front of a judge, regardless of what =
anyone else charges. In other words, something like "we find it =
typically takes $ 100 to get the backups out of storage, 15 minutes @ $X =
per minute for a tech to find the right backup disk and 10 minutes at $Y =
per minute for a network engineer to review the dump."=20
