Datasafe backs up all your data except for AE Tax ELS and PLS data. This data needs to be manually backed up separately from the Datasafe backup. Your ELS and PLS reports are located in the SOL64\TA\<dbname> folder where <dbname> is the name of the SQL Tax database i.e AETAX1, AETAX, SQLTAX.
Before you begin, ensure all users have exited out of the MYOB software.
At the Windows Desktop, follow the menu path: Start > Programs > MYOB Accountants Enterprise > Datasafe. The Datasafe Utilities window appears.
Click Backup Now. The Database Backup window appears.
Select the Special - keep until manually deleted option.
Enter Backup <today's date> (where: <today's date> is today's date) in the Label for backup field. Then click OK. Datasafe commences the backup cycle. Once completed the message "Backup completed succesfully appears" displays.
Click OK. The back up is completed successfully.
For more assistance on backing up alternative databases, click Help on the DataSafe Utilities window.
