Yeah, #3 is harder to answer than the other 2
1. The initial backup does take a bit - 60 minutes if I recall correctly? Subsequent backups are incrementals and don't take that long, but I've never sat and timed one.
2. I've got mine configured - default - to kick off the backup once the device is plugged in. I spend a ton of time in a hotel room and I've gotten in the habit of plugging it in to backup right before I go to bed.
3. I can't, no one can. It's beat into the users heads to backup but users are users no matter where you go. They don't do what they're always told

Something that I thought of from my personal recovery a couple weeks ago. It did not keep my Adobe (Acrobat & Photoshop) licenses. Just had to re-register and all was good.
