Enhancements to make ATI 2020 easier to use
From the post so far there are several aspect where enhancements are needed to improve the user experience:
- The separation of clean-up from backup process for cloud backups - this would allow other tasks to be performed during the prolonged cleanup process.
- The separation of Validation and backup so that a backup task can be run while another backup is being validated.
Other enhancements would be:
- Replicate to NAS, USB drive rather than limiting it to Cloud
- In addition to the preferred WIFI network the ability to specify LAN that must be present for backup task to run.
The above list is drawn form suggestions by various users both in this Forum and in the 2020 Beta Forum.
Please fee free to make other suggestions which I will incorporate into this post.

PS I am sure that I will have forgotten some of the excellent suggestions that have been made by other users, unfortunately my memory is not what it used to be.

While running concurrent tasks may be nice in theory, the reality may or may not be so good depending on the resources used, especially if accessing the same disk, USB, network pipe, etc. In some cases there may be time savings, but I'd expect in many cases that would not be the case.

Another enhancement that has been requested:
Allow backup tasks to be examined and modified even when the source or destination devices cannot be accessed. This is particularly problematic for NAS and FTP backups.

a big PLUS ONE to this!
My NAS is only on a couple hours a day and I hate having to remember to check the backup tasks during that window.

Great! I hope they get added to the product ... but I really hope for the technology and stability improvements.

Looking forward to all of the improvements, enhancements, bug fixes and stability features! The more, the merrier (and the faster, the better).
