TRAXsales  Backup

TRAXsales provides an automatic backup, which is saved each evening at 2:00 AM to your desktop. You should copy and save your trax.backup to a separate folder every day.   Unless you are networked and your backup is saved each evening by your server system, you should insure that the automatic backup is in a safe place away from the UpBoard computer.  This should be zipped and put on a separate floppy at least to start.  Eventually the data will surpass the size of a floppy (1.44 Megs) and will need to be placed on a zip disc or tape backup.  The ideal configuration is to be networked and simply direct the auto backup to another computer for safekeeping.  This way it is unlikely that you will lose two machines at the same time.  It is very important that you make sure this backup file is also copied and dragged to a separate folder and hidden from the system.  In other words if someone accidentally un-installs the TRAX system this next habit will protect you.  To insure you don’t lose your data, take an extra precaution and copy, then paste the Trax.backup file (which refreshes each morning automatically) to a separate folder.  (We suggest you call it “hidden TRAX backup” or 2^nd TRAX backup.

May we also suggest that you purchase a Memory Stick from Best Buy or Radio Shack ($30-$50) so you may easily transfer these backup files on a regular basis to a separate and safe place.  A Memory Stick is very easy to use and does not have the limitations of a floppy disc
