Question

Before making updates, I want to create a backup of my existing data. How can I do this to ensure data safety?

Answer

Before you update your software, it's important to make a backup of your data to keep it safe. Here's how to do it:
Step 1: Create a new folder where you want to store your backup. For example, you can make a new folder on your Desktop and name it something like BUSY Backup DD-MM-YY (use the current date).
Step 2: Open the BUSY software and go to the company option. In the company option, you'll find a backup data option. Click on it. Choose the company you want to back up, and enter your login details. Then, specify the path where you want to save the backup. You can choose the folder you created earlier, like BUSY Backup DD-MM-YY. Also, select all financial years (FY). Follow the prompts, and BUSY will save the backup in that folder.
Step 3: Another Step is you can select the data directory in the company option. With that directory you can browse you data folder, you can copy and paste your data into the BUSY Backup DD-MM-YY folder on your Desktop, which you created earlier.
Step 4: Additionally, if you have the BUSY agent application, you can also use it to create a backup. Open the BUSY agent and click on the Backup option. Select whether you want to save it locally or on Google Drive, depending on your preference.
After you've completed your backup, you can proceed with your software update.
