Summary

How to back up and restore your data in Sage 50 P11D.

Description

We recommend that you take regular backups of your data, and store copies of your backups off your main computer.

If anything happens to your computer, or you make a mistake, you can restore the backup and continue processing.

Resolution

Back up your data

Before you back up your data, check you’re the only user logged in to the software.

  1. Click File, then click Backup.
  2. Click Next then Next again.
  3. To locate the appropriate drive or folder, click Browse.
  4. Click Next, then click Finish.
  5. Click OK.

Restore a backup

When you restore a backup, you enter your username and password from the time you created the backup.

If you changed either of these after creating the backup, use the old credentials that were in place when you took the backup.

  1. Click File, then click Restore.
  2. Click Next, then click Browse.
  3. Select the backup file from the location you backed up to.
  4. Choose the type of files to restore, for example, Data Files, then click Next.
  5. Click Finish.
  6. Enter your user name and password, then click Login.

Backup and restore log

If you need to check where you’ve stored a backup, use the Backup & Restore Log report. This report lists backups and restores with details of the date, time, and the location the backup.

You can access the report by clicking File, and choosing View Backup & Restore Log.
