Lacerte has started backing up the 2021 and 2022 data files for the individual and partnership data. It looks like this backs up every workday. The 2021 back up is creating a 5.8GB zip file on our server per backup which will be approximately 30GB per week. Since we back up our server nightly it is continually increasing the size of our backup and will eventually exceed the size of our back up tape.
Is there an option that can be added to the program so users doing their own backup can can elect out of this automatic backup?
Can an option be added to this automatic backup to direct the the location of the backup to a specific location? For example it is now backing up to our server but could it be directed to a local computer hard drive.
It seem irresponsible to implement an automatic back creating large files without informing users of the software change much less not providing some level of control of the backups.
Thanks for the idea to elect out of this automatic backup. We are changing the status to "Open for voting" since it is no longer considered "New".
