FAQ: How do I backup my database?

To create a backup of your database for the School Accounting System, click the Backup button on the main screen of the School Accounting System, or select the Backup option listed under the Check Cycle menus in Accounts Payable or Payroll.  When making a backup in the School Accounting System, the backup file of the database is created in the backup folder in the SQL Server instance and can be copied to a different location, such as to a flash drive or a location on the user’s local hard drive, if desired.  Refer to the Backing Up topic in the Help File for step-by-step instructions.

Note:  The School Accounting System can also be set up to complete daily backups of the database, if desired.  To set up the system to make a daily backup, complete the fields on the Backup Options screen in the System File (refer to Steps 1, 4, and 5 of the Completing the System File topic in the Help File).
