Chapter 4. Backing Up

Backing Up

It is important that you backup as frequently as possible to avoid loss of your data. It is particularly important that you backup before an invoice run, sub agent and customers and a Global Adjustment. Any backup device can be used but we recommend an inexpensive 512Mb USB drive for ease of use. This device connects to your USB port and is easily removed for safe keeping. We also strongly recommend that you keep a copy of the program on the device also. A copy of the program is required to be used with the recovery disk in the event of a hardware failure.

  1. To backup you must close MrNews.
  2. Go to the Desktop Icon "MrNews Backup" and click on it.
  3. A pop up will appear and the backup will commence.
  4. You must wait until the process is completed before closing the window.
  5. You should check the drive to see that the data has been captured
