It is advisable to take a backup of your company files regularly, to an external drive. The backup is a precautionary measure in case any damage occurs to your computer or to restore the company to a previous position before the entry of subsequent transactions. To restore a backup previously taken:

• Navigate to File> Restore Company.
• Select the location of the back up you are restoring.
• The company-named backup will appear in the third box.
• Restore - click Restore to complete the restoration of the backup.
