I had a conversation with someone at AC about v9 and above. About the backups, about the activation key, about the install issues. I said everyone just wants it back to v8 style again. Sounded like I was getting somewhere.
Then we had a CAB meeting. What came out of that is that everything is super.

As for backups, I can't echo James' comment enough about entire backups. It seems people only worry about AC backups. I just restore AC with my main backup. Given many people take a drive home anyway, it's not a bad idea to disconnect the cable to a backup drive. Even if you keep it at the office.
