FAQ: How do I backup my database?
For organizations using the School Accounting System installed locally or using the School Accounting System-Online version with the regular database configuration, click the Backup button on the main screen of the School Accounting System to create a backup of your database, 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 an additional backup copy can be saved 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: For organizations using the School Accounting System installed locally, 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).
