Bert,
The longest recent backup was 4 days ago, uploaded 40 MB, took 44 minutes. There are 22 enc files in the backup folder. I usually clean it out monthly, perhaps I should do it more often. Today's backup took less than 2 minutes.
And, yes I have local copies. JD is my last resort. If Baltimore is wiped out, but my patients and I survive somehow, I can get my data from JD to go on.

Thank you, I do feel that I have a good plan now, so I shall sleep soundly.
