Task 5: Back up your company file

Before you start a new payroll year, make a backup of your company file. Once the previous year is closed, detailed payroll information is no longer available and W-2 forms, and 1099 statements cannot be printed for that year. If you’ve made a backup, however, you can restore that backup and print the necessary documents.

For more information, see ‘Backing up and restoring company files’.
