How do I create a backup?

This article explains how to create a backup of your data.

Cause

Ensure you have opened your data file and logged into the company you wish to backup
- If you have setup multiple users in Sage 50 Premium or Quantum, ensure you are in single user mode under sysadmin
Go to File, Backup
In the Sage 50 - Backup window, enter the File Name
- Include the date as part of this name (ex. UC141222)
- If you do not change the file name, it will attempt to overwrite the last backup file that was created
Select the folder where you want to save the backup by clicking Browse
- The backup file path used will become the default path for the next backup that will be created
- Do not put the file location within a .SAJ folder
Click OK to start the backup
