Performing Data Backup

Introduction

Data backup is an essential procedure that must be performed regularly in order to avoid the loss of valuable information.

Nobody is immune against errors or computer problems.

NOTE: This process causes the closure of the application on all the workstations that use it.

NOTE: If the "Network" (multi-user) module is not active, there will not be any warning, it will therefore be possible to backup immediately.

C: Allows you to name the backup. If nothing is entered, the name of the backup will be the date and time at which the backup was performed.
