The two most logical times to perform a backup are either immediately before or immediately after filing your regular pays. Our opinion is that you should back up the data before filing, because that way if something goes wrong with the filing - for example a power cut half way through - you can restore your data and file it again. If you back up after you file your pays and something goes wrong in the middle, you will have to use the previous period’s back up, re-enter the data you entered for your current pays.
