Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

The final August backup is the most important backup of the Bi-Annual period. Due to the importance of the backup, it is of the utmost importance to make sure you know where you’re making your backup to.

Description

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

Resolution

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.
