Summary – Backup Manager

When using your accounting software, leaving backups to chance is crazy! 

With Sage 50cloud Accounts you have the ability to schedule backups to run automatically and there’s no need to log users out whilst doing so.

Using Backup Manager you can schedule check data and backups to run automatically even if you don’t have the software open. And you can still work while your checks and backups are running.

This means you don’t need to worry about them – it’s a great time saver with added peace of mind.

How do I schedule check data and backups?

1. Log in to Sage Accounts with the Manager logon name and password.

2. Click File, click Schedule back up then click the Settings tab.
* More information about these fields can be found below in step 3a.

3. Enter your backup schedule settings as required.
a) More information about these fields:

Check data and backup schedule	Choose whether you want to run check data, or backups, or both, and how often you want to run them. The time is based on the server clock, not the clock on the local computer.
Company name	Select the companies you want the check data and backup schedule to apply to. The same schedule applies to all selected companies.
File types to include in the backup	Select the types of files you want to include in your backups. Accounts data is always included.
Backup location	By default, backup files are saved to C:\SageBackups on the computer where your data is stored. You can also store your backups on any fixed drive on your server, and if required, click Edit folder to enter a specific path.
Server disk space limit	Backups are created automatically as long as there is sufficient space on your server hard drive. By default the backup manager will create backups as long as there is at least 20 GB of space. You can change this if required.

4. To save the backup schedule, click Save.

Once you’ve set up your schedule, you can manage your backups and check data results all in one place.

If you ever want to turn off scheduled check data or backups, simply click File then click Scheduled back up and click Settings and clear the check boxes as required.

NOTE: The scheduled backups are created on the computer where your data is held, so this computer should be left on for scheduled backups to work.
