How to do a backup in Liberty

[Cara Bronico]

To learn how to do a backup, please follow the instructions below:

The first thing you need to know is the location where your backup is saving to. To check this location open the Inventory Module > Click Tools > Options > Backup tab. Notice my backup is going to the E: drive.

You are now ready to do your backup. You have two options;

1. If you have not done a backup in the last 24 hours you can simply close Liberty and it will prompt you to do a backup. Say yes to the message.

Note: Backups can only be done from the server computer.

Once the backup has completed it is recommended you check the modified date and ensure it says "today's" date ( the date you did the backup).

Note: If your backup location is set to C:\RWD\Backup you will receive and error when trying to backup. You can change the location by going to Tools > Options > Backup.
