Read this before choosing Core

What Core deliberately leaves out

Core has no monitoring, no proactive fixes, no restores done for you, no year-end folder management, no payroll recapture points and no recovery assurance. Nobody at Knox is watching this backup. That is the point: Core is for self-managers who check their own confirmation emails and act on failures themselves.

If reading that list made you uneasy, you are a Premium client.
