Hi Gene

We have had AC hosted in our office for years. I don't think it's ever "gone down" except the one time when power was off all night and the UPS didn't last. We had our server and backup system set up by Sandeep. It has been extremely reliable. With the number of times our internet goes out, the in house system is more reliable.

I have to admit if the server does go out, I don't remember how to get the backups restored and I haven't talked to Sandeep in years, so that will be challenging if he's not around to restore immediately. In that case, cloud AC might be better. I'm just hoping it doesn't happen. I probably need to get the servers rechecked soon to make sure everything is good or maybe upgrade it, but I don't know if Sandeep will be available to do this.

Edit: I posted before I read Bert's response. Sandeep set up our backups as in-house. The backups go to an external drive. It's not a cloud backup but then we don't have to pay any monthly fees for cloud. At the time, we didn't choose the replication backup option. Before we hired Sandeep, we had a P2P network and had network problems ALL THE TIME. I could figure some things out but obviously it was not an ideal situation. I recommend hiring Sandeep to set up your server (he did it all remotely, of course) but he might be too busy now? Last time I tried to contact him I didn't hear back.
