It would be a real benefit for preparer's to have the ability to backup their client's tax software files as an additional source of security under the new IRS Tax Security mandate.  At present this is not an option with Intuit's ProConnect Tax application.

I’m going to take a wild guess that Intuit does a little bit of backing up those files.

It is on a cloud and you want to back it up to another cloud? One with a silver lining>

Be sure you keep a pdf copy of what was filed, as that is much more important for your records. The processing can be changed by a software update and you can't reproduce that, so the pdf copy is REALLY IMPORTANT.
