I AM NOT CONDEMNING AC BACKUP and DEFINITELY DIDN'T MEAN TO RUFFLY ANY FEATHERS WITH MY INITIAL QUESTION. I was trying to get insight into how I can modify my records so that I could have an easier time saving everything to AC backup. If that's not possible, now I know, and I'll save things in different locations. It's been helpful to hear how other do it.
The vast majority of practices will not be as "imported items" heavy as mine is so this is probably not even an issue for most. AC backup isn't one click backup of everything like I thought it would be when I initially purchased so that's why I said that if I knew then what I know now, I'd go with something different.
