Not quite sure if this applies to what you said, late and too many beers, lol, but if you back up to a network drive, you have to log in with your username and password.
Around five to six years ago, I used to talk about backups a lot. So much so I think people just got sick of me. I gave a talk at the ACUC (in the good old days when we all met together), and I had to be stopped I went so long.
But, anyway, this was always my main theme. Obviously, there are the online and offsite backup strategies, but I have always maintained that the onsite backups were the most important. I would stress over and over to back up the entire server each night, to make sure you had everything and a bare metal restore. Then I always harped on what I called the modules. Which for me was File Assistant Pro (my own program for all imported item type stuff), Medware for schedule and billing and AC. Those were the three "modules of info" that absolutely could not be lost. So, while they were backed up onsite, offsite and online; before I left I had shortcuts on my desktop. I would click all three and watch that they were running. Then I could sleep. Plus, it is much easier to restore the AC backup and restore the compact Medware backup in minutes, than look through hundreds and thousands of files.
I guess that is my long winded way again of saying I never really trust AC software for anything. So I would rather do it manually.
Just a thought.
