Basecamp Backups Are Very Reliable

For the last 2 years we have been using Basecamp XML backups to update our offline database of Project, People, Messages, ToDos, Milestones but particularly the Timesheet entries which we use for billing. We do this every other day and once the request for the backup is created, we receive a download location. For as long as I can remember the download email arrives inside a couple of minutes. I take my hat off to the guys at 37signals for this terrific service. All online companies should provide this as part of their service.

Note: We sell two complimentary tools to convert the download XML to a database, Treacle for SQL Server and DryToast for MS Access.
