SETTING UP SCHEDULED AUTOMATIC BACKUPS
Backups of your time clock data can be automatically emailed to one or more recipients on a daily, weekly, or
monthly basis. It is important to have automatic
backups set up to create backups as routinely as
possible. Use this backup to restore your data in
case of any data loss.
To set up automatic backups, refer to Email / Backup
Preferences.
Once that has been done, go to Files | Create
Backup and try sending a test backup email by
clicking Submit under Email Backup Now.
If the backup is successfully sent, a notification will
display. If you receive an error message, make all
necessary changes to your SMTP preferences to
resolve the errors and try sending the backup again.
CREATING A DATA BACKUP
It is important to make a backup (copy) of your employee time clock data periodically. Use this backup to restore
your data in case of any data loss. We recommend creating a backup of your time clock data each pay period and
prior to performing any updates to your time clock.
