Unless you've disabled Automatic Backup (not recommended), Payroll will require a backup before moving into September for Bi-Annuals.

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

1. Go to File then Back up.
2. Select the directory on your computer where Payroll must save the backup.
   We recommend you save your August backup in a separate folder as below. 
   
   • Click New Folder
   • Name the folder 'August Backup 2025/26'
   • Click Create then Process

 NOTE: Naming your folder 'August Backup' makes it easy to find later— if you need to restore.
