Why should I back up my files?

Keeping your financials secure is critical to all business owners and is therefore very important to us. We trust that you are backing up your financial records to a USB or external hard drive. It is recommended that you backup your Cashflow Manager files every month or each time you finish working with the program. Backing up your file minimizes the loss of data if you experience a sudden power loss or if your computer should fail.

Here is how to create a Backup File:

  1. 1. Click on [File] and select [Backup].
  2. 2. The Data Back-up screen and back up file name will automatically appear. 
  3. 3. Click on the [Browse] tab to select the location you wish to backup your file. 
  4. 4. The save as screen will appear – “navigate” to the location you wish to backup your file (e.g. USB Drive). The name of your file will appear, with the extension B12. 
  5. 5. Simply click on [Save].
  6. The location and name of your backup file will then appear in the Data Backup screen. Click on [Backup] and [OK].
