Sage Payroll is a cloud based program, which means there are no local copies of your data. We store your information securely, back it up regularly, and build in protection to prevent data loss.

Because the system stores everything online, you can't create a backup file.

Want to keep your own records?

You can still export your data at any time if you want a local copy of reports. Find out what information you can extract by reading our guide How can I export my data from Payroll?.
