Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

Backups protect against hardware failure, virus attacks, power failure, and natural disasters. Backups can help save time and money if these failures occur in your Sage 50 Accounting.

Resolution

  1. Open your data file.
  2. If you have multiple users in Premium or Quantum, login as sysadmin in single user mode.
  3. Go to File, Backup.
  4. Enter the File Name.
    • Include the date as part of the name
       NOTE: If you don't change the file name, it will overwrite your last backup.
  5. Click Browse and select the folder where you wish to save your backup.
    • The path will be the default path for your next backup
       CAUTION: Don't put the file location within the.SAJ folder.
  6.  Click OK to start the backup.
