Thems' real scary words.

You should learn how to routinely TEST your backups to be sure :
1) They work at all (I can't remember how many time I have hear 'I have yesterdays backup' only to find it a)unusable b)the files needed were not on the schedule. )
2)Frequently review the LIST OF items being scheduled. New programs Data folders may not get added automatically.
3)Have the Backup Leave the (daily) LOG on the screen for you to glance at: Look for errors, locked files that can't be backed up. Any issue that blocks a complete backup. Fix (Might require a program to be closed) the Issue and Force those to be backed up NOW.
