Backing Up the Database
Don't lose your entire ALLDATA® ManageSMdatabase!
To be safe, set up daily automatic backups to your computer and also create manual backups on an external device (such as a USB stick/thumb drive).
IMPORTANT - YOUR DATABASE IS ONLY STORED ON YOUR COMPUTER.
ALLDATA DOES NOT KEEP A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR DATABASE.
To backup your data automatically:
-
Data can be automatically backed up to a duplicate file on your computer daily, weekly or monthly.
-
DAILY is recommended!

For instructions, see Setting Backup Options.
To backup your data manually:
-
Backing up your database to an external location (such as a USB drive) protects your information in case of damage to, or corruption on, your shop's computer.
