@Doc, a good reason to stay with Cat6 I guess. Sorry you are having troubles.
@Paul, I still cannot understand why you are doing your backups when people are still working. I know it's not because you are trying to get out early, because like many of us, you never do

I am not so sure the backup will ever be implemented. I have some ideas, and these are NOT workarounds; just other ways of doing the same thing.
It sounds as though you may be doing one backup per day and not making multiple backups. I can't recall.
If you set up folders where you are copying and pasting to now, and then run SyncToy, you could save yourself time and energy of having to copy and paste all the time. Again, SyncToy is free and very easy to set up. You could easily set up five backups, Monday through Friday, and simply click on Monday to back up Monday, Tuesda....etc.
Another option, which would be ever better if it could be modified would be to make a shortcut from the AC folder of the AmazingUtility tool. Then, you can click on this and it will not only clean up your databases, it will back each one of them up. Of course, these backups will be inside the AC folder. They would be good if a database became corrupted, but if you lost the entire folder, you would be out of lucky. They are dated, so you could do a different backup each day.
What would be cool is if we could choose the path of the backups so they don't go to the AC folder by default.
