    Recently I had occasion to configure a new backup plan on a new backup device.  Sometimes I have problems with my DSL connection.  OneCare reported that it could not save my new backup configuration because it didn't have access to the internet.  My question: Why does OneCare need access to the interet to save my backup configuration?

    Thanks

    The backup profile is saved on the servers due to the implementation of Centralized Backup in OneCare.
    Even if you are not using Centralized Backup, it still needs to update the plan on the server. I know, stupid...
