So if a virus has been discovered one can back track to see where in time it started. (((((B)))))This will also help provide damage limitation by enabling one to step back to the most reliable log copy, and then correcting the damage from there. Regular incremental copies should also be made on a daily basis, which would mean coping new and modified data only.

Another aspect to be wary about is employee fraud, technological minded employees be able to manipulate the system for their own financial benefits. This could be dealt with by keeping track of who logs in where and what time, that way if a crime is perpetrated the individual could be tracked down.
