titleOur Ace Payroll is hosted in the cloud by an external provider. I am having trouble using the Internet Backup internet backup service due to security issues. What do I do?

The internet backup service is an optional service with your support subscription. It intended for clients who have Ace Payroll on their own computer, and have either no backup routine or are not making reliable backups.

If you are using a reputable external cloud provider then your data will be backed up securely in their cloud, and you do not need to use Ace Payroll’s internet backup service.
