Whoa!!! I never said that you, dermdoc, condemned the program. My thread, which by the way took a lot of time and work and if I may be self-serving I think is very helpful, was an attempt to try to put together information that would answer everyone's questions.

It was evident to me, if I read all the posts correctly, that the AC backup program was deficient in many ways. When looked at in a certain light, I think it may make it clear to some that is does, indeed, do everything a good backup program should do.

You did not ruffle any feathers. But, when I see a lot of posts that I feel TOGETHER may be off the mark, I think it is helpful to comment on that. I thought my post did just that.

As I have stated many times (and users can choose to do it or not), but the key backup should be of the entire main computer or at least all of its data, and AC's backup should supplement that. Obviously, people have been doing that for years as until V4 there was no backup.

My main point is that the servers that Jon uses to back up software and the amount of data people will back up in Imported Items makes offsite backup impractical for most.
