Backup Podware

How to prepare for a backup – do this once only:

Set up an external drive – either a usb thumb drive OR set up cloud storage such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or any cloud storage

IMPORTANT: Do a backup at the end of any day when you've used Podware

Open Podware

Go to Backups > Back up Podware

In the next box click Browse

Browse to a folder on an external usb drive OR on cloud storage such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or any cloud storage

This needs to be done only the first time a Backup is done - or if you decide to change where that backup is stored

In the example below I’ve chosen a folder in my ‘D’ drive with is drive plugged into USB on my computer:

Click OK

Click Back up now

This message should appear

Click OK and this message will appear:

If needed check the contents of the folder where you have placed the backup

Among the list of files there should be one or more that look something like this:

The above three files are all backups of the data in Podware.

All are time and date stamped.

Any files whose name begins with 'Tables6' that are older than a couple of weeks can be deleted to free up space.

In case of data loss or computer breakdown we can restore Podware if you have a recent backup

Please do a backup at the end of any day when you've used Podware
