Is anyone running their own backups of blackbaud (Education, RE, FE) data? If so, what service are you using? Thanks!

    @Lauren Henderson We make sure we keep a local copy of any media/attachments in order to make sure we have a backup copy. So, our procedure is to attach to RE (through database view is preferred) and to put a copy in our local shared folder. It is my understanding that anything that is added via the db view is backed up, but anything that is added via NXT is not (it also does not write back down to db view.) Other than that, we are crossing our fingers and hoping that BB really has our backs on this one!
