Best thing AC could do would be to take II out of the backup. This issue comes up all the way. And, people learn. But, I bet a lot more learn the hard way. II are important, but I am going to say only 1/10 as important as your basic EMR. I think AC ought to move II to a different location. Same with the Backups folder.

It's easy enough to back up II separately with any decent backup software.

I know people will likely get sick of hearing this, but I just have to say it again. My personal opinion is back up general to specific. Back up the ENTIRE computer with AC, your billing software, your financial stuff, every night to at least two external drives. Everything else is gravy.

I have iBackup (the only one worth using if you are going to back up AC as it uses VSS), but I don't really use it. External, NAS 100 feet away and 30 feet below and a take home weekly -- weak but still better than nothing.
