Not sure what other thread this came up in, but I have talked about the two possibilities that are not available at the time which would be very helpful.
What was mentioned above was simply taking advantage of the Data Maintenance: Compact and maintain your databases. When you do this from any computer, it compacts your databases but not before it backs them up. So, you have database backups, but they are located in the same folder, so they aren't all that safe. Better than nothing. Not sure how difficult it would be, but if we had the option of where to back those up, it would solve the whole problem of database backups while tuning the databases at the same time.
The other way that would be helpful would be to make the offsite backup also an onsite backup. The offsite backup would still be $250 annually while the onsite backup could be free. If you don't use offsite backup, then you will not be familiar with the process. But, basically, when you backup offsite using that feature, it first makes a compressed and encrypted file containing all databases. These are stored on the computer you back up from (which should be the way the other is done). So, when I back up to offsite, I not only get that backup, but I also get an encrypted one on a local workstation. So, you in effect get a backup. The other good feature of this would be for those who back up to thumb drives. It makes me nervous to consider NON-encrypted databases going back and forth on small thumb drives, but this way you would alleviate that problem. Unfortunately, you can't make the local backup if you haven't paid for a license for the offsite backup. Easy enough to change. Simply don't allow one access to the offsite backup site if they don't have a license.
