Time to give my config a update and it will certainly change soon as there are some licenses expiring.
My backups are a point of improvement. As I need a way to get my backups from my NAS somewhere safe outside my house. Stack would be ideal, I've 1TB storage there but I haven't found a way to automatically upload the backup on my NAS to Stack (free account).

Does EEK have any value as I run EAM?
ZAM is a good one, I registered for beta testing in the past but never tried it. I'll also put VPN on the todo list again.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Edit:
I still have a lifetime MBAM license. They are not that popular right now but is it really that bad?
