TECH TIP
BACKUP-RESTORE

Accounting for Windows and Point of Sale for Windows, version 4.5 is equipped with a backup/restore utility for backing up and restoring data files. The feature uses PKWARE’s PKZIP.EXE and PKUNZIP.EXE to compress and store the data in a user-specified path. Backups and restores are initiated by a menu option within the company desktop. The software automatically backs up or restores the data for the current company code. The backup/restore feature can archive the data on the computer’s hard drive or a network drive, or on floppy disks, removable media drives such as JAZ drives, or a writeable CDROM. This feature alone makes it worthwhile for your clients to move up to version 4.5. There is no substitute for good backups and we still encounter too many customers who don’t have them.
