As reliable as computers are these days, they can't be fully trusted to provide you with trouble-free recordkeeping. As is the case with all machines, computers are capable of failure. In addition, interruptions in your power supply can seriously damage the hardware and software you use to keep track of your business. In short, you need to ensure the information you enter using your computer is safe; without this security, all the information you've ever entered could disappear in a moment, never to be recovered.
As a result, we strongly recommend that you preserve your BusinessBasics information in another location regularly-and very often. The process of preserving your information in another location is called making a backup. The "other location" where you preserve your information is a file called a backup.
You can use the MYOB BusinessBasics Backup command to automatically create a backup of your company file, and the Restore command to use a backup file you previously created.
