Payroll has a Backup Wizard that makes it easy to perform backups on a
schedule. Managing payroll can be a full-time job, and it's important to keep
all of your records in case something goes wrong. This blog article details the
steps you should take to restore Sage 50 Payroll backup before the next time your files are recovered. Understanding the
Central Server Database and Payroll Files
You should
let us know if you see any mistakes in your data or if it seems that someone
has tampered with your information. It is best to have a current backup of your
information so you don't experience any issues later.
What is a Backup?
A backup is
a copy of your data that you make to protect it in case something happens to
the original. Sage offers two types of backups: scheduled and point-in-time.
Scheduled
backups are made automatically every day at noon, and they include all of your
data from the previous 24 hours. Point-in-time backups are made when you choose
them, and they include only the data that has changed since the last
point-in-time backup.
If you need
to restore your data from a backup, you first need to find the backup file. You
can do this by clicking on "Backups" in the "Sage" menu on your computer, selecting the
date range for which you want to restore backups, and then clicking on "Backups."
Once you've found the backup file, you can restore it by clicking on
"Restore." If you want to create a "best fit" backup, you
can do this by clicking on the "Best Fit" button in the Sage backup
menu, and selecting the date range for which you want to create this type of
backup. Best fit backups will be created only if there are no point-in-time
backups or point-in-time snapshots available; otherwise they will be marked as
a "best fit" backup so that your system knows when to perform those
best fit backups automatically
