What is Backup?
What does 'Backup' mean?
A business's backup contains all the data needed to completely restore its financial records, including transactions, supplier and customer information, inventory status, surveys, documents, and custom themes and settings. You can recover data after it has been lost, such as when a storage device breaks, retrieve data from a previous time, or when someone started making entry errors, move data across computers, establish redundant data caches, and migrate data to different versions of the software using backups (desktop, server, or cloud). Only one business's data is included in a backup. Each accounting entity must always be backed up separately if more than one. These backups can be stored in several locations if needed. A single company can also be backed up in various locations.
