A backup of your company data ensures you have a restore point in the event the worst happens.

We advise that you use an external backup source. You can use external drives or flash drives. You can also use a third party backup solution like Iron Tree, one drive or drop box.

Your backup will be date stamped. This is to ensure you don't overwrite a previous backup and to make it easier to find the right back when restoring your data.

 NOTE: If working in a multi-user environment, ensure you process the backup on the server.
