Back Up company data files

Note: You need an Microsoft 365 Business Standard Account to create a cloud backup.

Automatic Cloud Backup is similar to Sage 50's backup, but with the added security of storing your data on a remote server. Your data is secure no matter what happens at your company site. You can define automatic backups for specific days and times.

  1. Open the company you want to back up.
  2. Go to File>Cloud Backup>Automatic Cloud Backup.
  1. Open the Automatic Cloud Backup window.
  2. Sign in to your Microsoft 365 account.
  3. Select Create a cloud backup.
  4. Specify the time that the cloud backup will be created.
  5. Select the day(s) of the week.
  6. Click Save.

All users must be logged out of the company in order for the backup to run. If you want to automatically log out any users who are logged in at the scheduled backup time, select the Log out users prior to running backup checkbox. If this checkbox is not selected, the backup will not run if users are logged in at the scheduled backup time.
