Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for backup solutions? I need recommendations for both a simple home backup and a more complex business backup. At home, I've been using Carbonite for a few years now, but over the last year, their image backup never worked and then they dropped the feature completely. At work, we were using Acronis for both file and image-based backups along with Google Drive to store the files (as well as taking a disk offsite in both daily and weekly configurations). However, Acronis is quite expensive for a small business and more importantly, it just doesn't seem to be reliable. We are frequently finding that the backups just haven't run on our servers or that the service is unavailable on workstations. As a small business, we don't have the resources to dedicate someone to look after these backups full time, so the solution needs to be largely automated.

Mind expanding on this? I'm also currently looking into setting up a proper backup solution.

The backups are intermittently failing to run. It's supposed to email me when this happens but that's failing too.

Hi there! Would you mind sending more details on the issues with backups and email notifications in PM? What product version is installed? Are there any particular error messages? Could you also send a screenshot of notifications settings for us to check. We'll be glad to help and improve your experience with our software!
Thank you for cooperation in advance!
