It is advisable to take a backup of your company files on a regular basis, 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 prior to the entry of subsequent transactions.

• Navigate to File> Backup Company.
• Select your preferred destination - The file name of your backup is automatically assigned, i.e. your company name.zip. 
• Click Backup to perform the backup procedure.
• Successful Backup - A confirmation message will appear to confirm the backup was successful.

Note: Should you receive any error message during the backup procedure, then the backup has not been successful and the above steps should be repeated again.
