Backup Facility


 

This is our integrated backup and restore program which will safely backup your data.   The data is compressed into a zip file.  The default storage location is "Backup" located underneath the current year program folder.   You also have the option of directing a second copy to be stored at a location of your choice.   Attaching a password to the zip file is optional.

 

When the utility is run, it automatcally accesses the current data folder as the source of the data but that can be changed..  A backup log of all backups made is maintained.

 

Backups can be sent to our secure FTP server.  You may use that feature to transfer files to our service bureau for processing.   Depending on your needs we will transmit electronically and/or print.

 

If you place a password on the backup file created you will need to communicate that p/w to us or we will be unable to access your data.

 

Note:   When accessing this routine if you get an error message it is because we need to register a value within Windows.   To do this, return to your desktop and find the icon which launches the program.   Right click on it as select "run as administrator".   Then go to the backup routine.   You only need to do this once as it will perform the registration within windows.
