[AG: ] I think that we do want to include offline storage because some organizations only use offline storage for their content. How about if it were changed to:
How much online or offline storage space are you using for your digital content, not including backup copies?

[AG: ] I too would like to get a good response rate. If we tell people that it runs for 2 months though I fear that they'll put off filling it out long enough to forget about it! We could always initially say that it expires after 1 month and extend it to 2 later. 

Thanks,
Andrea
