It is important that you back up your company data files on a regular basis in case information is accidentally deleted or corrupted. You can then restore your data, if necessary.
To back up your company data files and customized forms, you can use the Back Up or Automatic Cloud Back up option.
From the File menu, select Back Up. Sage 50 displays the Back Up Company window.
Select the Reminder check box if you want to be prompted to back up in a specified number of days.
If the specified number of days have elapsed since your last Sage 50 backup, Sage 50 will display a reminder message when you close the company or exit the program.
At File name, enter the name for the backup copy. Sage 50 offers a default file name that includes the current system date—for example, Bellwether Garden Supply-022507.ptb. You can change this if you like. Sage 50 backup files use the *.ptb file extension.
For increased security, avoid backing up data over existing backups.
Click OK.. The system displays the progress of the backup until it is complete.
Note: Depending on the quantity of data, the backup process may take a while to complete. Be patient and do not interrupt the process. If you interrupt the backup process, you might damage your data.
