Backup & restore

Create the backup before you need it.

Business data becomes valuable gradually, but recovery is usually tested only when something goes wrong. Make backup part of the normal working routine.

Back up the complete business context.

A useful backup should cover the data required to continue working, not just a single exported invoice or a screenshot of a report.

One copy is not a backup strategy.

Working copy

The data used by the current workstation.

Local backup

A recent backup that is easy to restore quickly.

Separate copy

A copy kept separately so a workstation failure does not remove both the original and the backup.

Match frequency to how much data you can afford to re-enter.

If losing one week of work would be unacceptable, weekly backup is not sufficient. Choose a routine based on the amount of change in your business.

A backup is not proven until restoration has been tested.

Periodically verify that the backup can be read and restored. Do this especially before workstation migration, major Windows changes or a significant application upgrade.

Next step

Prepare backup before moving VELDIGO.

Installation, workstation changes and business-data migration are safer when a recent recovery point already exists.
