Automating CRM backup storage?

Automating CRM backup storage?

Hi there, 

We've recently set up automatic backups for our Zoho CRM account.  We were hoping that the backup functionality would not require any manual work on our end, but it seems that we are always required to download the backups ourselves, store them, and maintain them.

Does CRM offer any backup maintence?  Ideally, we would like to schedule the back ups and then have them auto-download somewhere.  Having to download them and store them manually is slightly annoying.

Thanks
