Kaseya's BUDR solution warns about an Acronis issue

 "We have been alerted by Acronis that the folder backup feature within 4.6.2 is not functioning properly. Although it appears that the function is working and reports a successful backup, that is not the case. The backup files created will fail verification and restoration. Acronis is working on a fix for this issue and we should have an update shortly. We will continue to update you as we learn more."

Yeah, the company I work at does a full DR drill every few months - takes over office space and computers out of town, throws a bunch of people in there and makes them recover from the documentation provided.  Then makes them do work from the recovered systems, to make sure it's all good.
Then the company takes them out for a celebratory meal to congratulate them - whether it worked or not, because of course, if it failed, it's the fault of the guys who made the backups or the instructions.
