Backing Up and Restoring Files


Use the Backup and Restore tools to set up automatic data backups or custom one-time backups, or to restore backed-up data. Files backed up to other locations can be used to restore lost data. If multiple machines are used for tax return preparation in one office, files can be moved to other computers and uploaded to a single machine to create a master file. You can back up any kind of file using the Backup and Restore tools.


Backing Up Data


From the menu bar of the Home window in Drake Tax, click Tools > File Maintenance > Backup to open the Backup and Restore dialog box. You’ll notice that both the backup tool and the restore tool are on the same window.
