Before continuing with the purge process, you need to make sure you have one and preferably two backups of company data on hand. The Purge Wizard - Back Up window lets you back up your data.
Enter the name for the backup copy. Sage 50 offers a default file name that includes the current system date. 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.
Warning! 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 corrupt the data.
Note: Sage 50 highly recommends that you make two or more company backup files, so be sure to create additional backups. To do so, just repeat the backup process outlined above.
