Backup ALL Companies
BACKING UP ALL COMPANIES
It is very important to take a backup to an external drive in order to protect your payroll. Taking a backup to an external drive ensures that your payroll is saved elsewhere and can be used to reinstate your payroll if you have a PC breakdown or crash.
We strongly recommend NOT taking a backup to the c:drive as this does NOT protect your payroll software.
Bureau users will have the option to back up all companies on file at the same time. This facilitates a one-off backup function and saves the user the time-consuming task of backing up all companies individually.
To access this utility go to File > Backup All Companies >
- All the companies on file are listed
- Select a location to back up the payroll files to e.g. a memory stick, network drive, external hard drive etc.
- Click Backup
- Click OK
A separate backup of each company on file will be taken to the specified location - this may take a minute if you hold a large number of companies on file.
Each payroll backup will be in the format of 'company name, payroll backup, year' and will be in the format of a zipped file.
For example: a backup of company ABC Limited will be shown as "ABC Limited payroll backup 16.zip"
For example: a backup of company ABC Limited will be shown as "ABC Limited payroll backup 16.zip"
