Any One Else Have Backup Problems & Secondary Options for Backing Up Data

Backup Issues Anyone?  Are There Common Errors That Keep Backups from Saving?
Has any one else had issues with backups failing?  Our backup gets fixed and then it fails again.  I'd appreciate any tips you learned if you have had this recurring issue.  
(Tip)
One item we learned that may prove helpful to new users...too many lookup fields in one report can prevent your backup from saving. I don't know the threshold but Zoho Support said this was one reason our backups failed.

Other Methods of Backing Up?
Any automated methods of backing up Data separate from Zoho Backups? Any help / ideas would be much appreciated.

Restore (Tip)
For new Creator users, I would strongly recommend you test that your backups restore.  Just because your system backed up, doesn't mean it will restore...and that means you will have to manually import the data through CSV and the data is saved very strangely.  Every lookup in your form is saved in a separate file...so we had to open each of these files and paste the data into one file, upload and write a script to copy the data.
