Back up

You should have a strict backup schedule in place to ensure minimal loss of data in the event of a disaster such as Hardware failure, power surges etc. It is recommended that an offsite storage of backups is used as an extra precaution. Backups can only be performed when no other users are logged in.

How do you create a Backup?

Select Utilities Tab Select Backup

The backup will automatically start unless other users are logged in. The backup file will be saved on the server at c:\erp software\backup unless an alternative location has been nominated in Preferences>Utilities<LinkId=240>

Alternative Methods

There are some alternative ways to perform backups.
