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 - contact us to arrange this.

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.
