I have not yet found in Auctiva an option to import/export our info to our computer, like excel or something. My internet went out today and I had to quit working. It would be nice to be able to keep working offline. I also do not 100% trust storing my info on other servers and whatever just because if that one place crashes, then all my long, hard work is gone. So, it would be nice to have these backup features.

I think you have an excellent idea, but I guess this is the nature of the "beast" using a web sourced product.

I, too, would like to be able to work for those times when, for one reason or another, you cannot get to the net, or to Auctiva.

Hi folks - I too do not like the idea of storing everything online, plus it's slow, and other downsides as well. But it's a tradeoff. If you opt for a computer based listing product, you could be hit with a virus or a hard drive crash or some other calamity. Then what do you do if you don't have a good backup system in place and a bit of luck? I'm assuming of course that Auctiva does have a backup system of their own. I guess you pays your money and you takes your choice.
