Company File Backup

Backing up is copying a company file to some form of storage media, such as an external hard drive, CD, flash drive, or other media.

You can also use the backup function in AccountEdge to create a compressed archive file that takes up less space. The archive file has a ‘.zip’ file extension.

If you share your company file on a network, you should note that this task requires single‑user access. You must be the only user logged into your AccountEdge Company File.
