Glad you like it. And the emails you receive once a month or so informing you of the new versions are very helpful. You will also see a confirmation of a new backup is helpful, just nice to know what it is doing. Upgrades are "rock solid." Just don't read the jokes in the emails. Apparently, those from Australia have lower standards for humor. But, I will trade that for the higher standard of women, lol. No offense to those in the U.S.
I would highly suggest purchasing the SQL Server backup module. The license is lifelong. And, you can back up SQL as often as once a minute, and it will back up the AC instance in less than that. You will always know that AC is backed up all day. I have mine set to five minutes. It takes no resources.
The thing I love about their support is you can call them, email them or using their forums. Unlike most forums where people like me give stupid answers, you can expect an answer rather quickly (24 hours) from one of the five or so tech support listed at the top.
Are you using VSS? Also, make sure you are backing up to at least two or three external drives. Hardware drives are the biggest point of failure and external drives are the most dangerous. Imagine crashing and then staring at that one Seagate or Fleagate external USB drive and tapping your fingers over and over hoping the drive is working or not corrupted.
Personally, I recommend putting an eSATA card in your PC, then adding four drives (they are dirt cheap) like an IcyDock (unfortunately I think I bought the last one in the world with four connections). It is similar to RAID but it is NOT but if you lose a drive, you can slap in another one. They are faster too, although USB 3.0 is pretty damned fast.
NAS is fine, but test it like crazy as I have experienced a few issues with network backups.
Oh, and the huge key is either use a partition or, better yet, a separate 1 to 4 TB drive in your computer. Then set it up to back up to there and move it to your external drives. I can only fit two, but the more the better. So, if you back up a drive a day times five days, then Backup Assist will move those after, and you have very fresh backups that you can restore faster than any other method. Just make SURE that the drive the backups are initially backed up to is not included in your backup. Not a good idea.
Backup Assist (for the money and even not for the money) in my opinion is the best backup software out there. One feature I find incredible is the wizard where you have several choices in the backup and then several choices in the destination including RSYNC where you can back up to your home. Just take my advice and if you do use RSYNC, you use Backup Assist and your RSYNC vendor's support. It's a little like SyncToy and offsite backups like iBackup (the best in my humble opinion) (wow! Bert humble), I get worried about syncing 'cause of the possibility of syncing the wrong way. But, I think I am paranoid about that.
Congratulations! Keep us posted.
