Yep, I would like to trash the app. It is crapp, sometimes.

But please excuse me, but I won't suggest throwing away our PLM system. And even if I would, I highly doubt that "they" would heed my advice. After all, they already invested way too much money/time into it.

Some proposals just absolutely cannot be followed, sorry. At least not, if it's just to implement a "better" backup scenario.
