Some facts about backups

Here are a few key things you should know about backups:

• A backup typically takes the form of a disk, removable hard disk or tape backup system, depending upon the size of the information that's being preserved. You can get information about these systems from most computer manuals, as well as the person who sold you your MYOB package.
• If your company file is less than 1.4 megabytes (MB) in size, it can be easily backed up onto a high-density diskette. The backup programme included with BusinessBasics will allow you to create a backup that spans two or more diskettes. Be sure to have an adequate number of formatted diskettes before beginning your backup if you choose this option.
• If your company file is too large to fit on a diskette, additional hardware and software packages exist on the market today that will help you store large amounts of data.
