Best wishes for 2013 Happy New Year everyone. A big thank you to all of you who've shown support, whether it's by using one of our products or simply by visiting our blog pages occasionally. From all of the team here at Zen Software, we hope you have a happy, healthy and prosperous 2013. As those resolutions start to kick in and we're looking forward to making sure we start  2013 in the best way possible, I wanted to stop for just a moment and share with you which of the posts on the blog were most popular in 2012. You never know, you might just have missed a gem or two!

In effect, administrators no longer need to remotely log in to a BackupAssist server to manage all of its settings.

If you're anything like me, you probably don't have enough time in the day to be checking all of the industry blogs you really should if you want to keep properly up to speed.
