Ace Payroll automatically creates regular backups of your data and saves them to your computer or external hard drive. But if anything happens to your computer - like theft, a virus, or damage - your local backups could be lost. Storing your backups online is a good way to keep your data safe in case something happens to your computer. To use the internet backup service you first need to purchase a support subscription. The internet backup service automatically backs up your data files to the Ace Payroll secure data centre each time you process your payroll. This makes it simple to: Restore your data if anything happens to your computer. Share your data files easily between your work and home computers. Be sure that you have a secure, separate backup each pay cycle.
If you have the internet backup service turned on you can still create additional local backups whenever you want to. Purchase a support subscription by contacting us. UI Expand |
