Making a backup is one of the most critical things you can do. It protects your operating system from hardware failure, accidental deletion, malware, or theft.

Ensure that you are in the company that you wish to backup and follow the steps below:

1. Go to File then Backup.
2. Select the directory on your computer where Payroll must save the backup:
   • Your first Payroll backup defaults to C:\Payroll\Backups. After that, it uses your specific directory for your backups.
3. Click Process then click Close.

NOTE: Don't make backups in your company folder - this causes your system to be slow.
