To Back up your Company's Data

Use the Backup command to backup your data for selected companies. The process is controlled by a wizard. As the backup takes place, a progress bar will indicate the status of the process and the message 'Backup Completed' will appear. The amount of time needed to backup the data is affected by the following:

Only companies that you have access to that are not being used in Opera, Pegasus Document Management, Pegasus Instant Messenger or Pegasus XRL are displayed for selection.
The companies that you have access to are maintained on the System - Maintenance - User Profiles form.

  1. Open the System folder and click Utilities or click the Administration tab on the Ribbon Bar and then click System - Utilities.

  2. Click Backup.

  3. In the box, click to select the company or companies for which you want to back up data.

  4. By default, the backup will include the additional files. If you do not want to include some or all of these files in the backup, clear the relevant files.

  5. In Backup To, specify the location in which the backed up files will be stored. You can use the browse button to locate a folder. The default location is the \BACKUP subfolder of the application's dynamic data folder.

  6. Click Next.

  7. To begin the backup process, click Start.

  8. When the process is finished, click Close.

We recommend you retain copies of your backups on removable media. That is, if you back up to a hard disk location, such as the default folder, you should consider transferring the backup to removal media for security. For example, you might want to store backups on external drives, tape, CDs, or DVDs. The backup process does not support spanning across multiple disks.
