Hi Dave,

Do you know that you don't have to stop the vm's to do a backup?
My longest backup takes 15 minutes, and that is to long to have it offline
as it's needed by clients to access.

My server's are 70 miles and 620 miles away, so everything is done remotly!

When data doesn't change that often then a weekkly is fine... When data
chages on a more regular matter, then it needs to be more often...
The shortest time here between backup's is 6hours, with the next being 12
and 24 hours.

Good job at getting it at a lower price. Do you have the license key's?
I'd blow the software away and re-install just to be on the safe side...
