We have a lot of contractors so neither of those are options for me.
I am not sure I get the security issue. A user can always plug a tablet into computer and grab the database. They can also probably open the service in AGOL and export in most cases. Many times you can even open the service in Collector and grab that. Unless I am missing something all i see it is a little easier.
Here is our issue. We have crews going out on 8 day long hitches. They have no internet access at all. They work in rough terrain which means tablets can get wet, cooked, etc. Just last week we lost 2 iPads to water damage. We lost all the data which is quite expensive for us. If we would have had USB backups we would have only lost 1 day.
We can already backup to USB in Collector so I really am surprised 123 would be any different.
Please reconsider some option or setting or something for this. Having no way to backup in the field is really hard. James Tedrick Ismael Chivite
