Backing Up Sage

Backing Up Sage

In order to host your Sage Application, we will need a copy of your current Company file.  Here's how to create a Backup:

  1. Ensure you have opened your data file and logged into the company you wish to backup
    • If you have setup multiple users in Sage 50 Premium or Quantum, ensure you are in single user mode under sysadmin
  2. Go to FileBackup
  3. In the Sage 50 - Backup window, enter the File Name
    • Include the date as part of this name (ex. UC141222)
    • If you do not change the file name, it will attempt to overwrite the last backup file that was created
  4. Select the folder where you want to save the backup by clicking Browse
    • The backup file path used will become the default path for the next backup that will be created
    • Do not put the file location within a .SAJ folder
  5. Click OK to start the backup



Once the backup is created, you will need to upload it and restore it on our servers.   How?

We have a complete support system ( powered by ZoHo Desk ) standing by to help if you have
any questions or problems.  Please take a moment to setup a helpdesk account.  How?

Once you have a helpdesk account setup, getting help is easy!  How?
