<p class="Help-Note"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note</span>: Data backups can be done only from the <a href="../qbpos_help_and_support/help_wstypes.htm">Server Workstation</a>. There is no need to do backups on client workstations.</p>

<p class="Help-Text">The data that you gather during day-to-day business operations is invaluable and must be protected. Power failure, media defects, disgruntled employees, or hardware problems can corrupt or destroy your company information. Backing up your data on a regular basis enables you to recover from such events as quickly and painlessly as possible. Failure to do so puts your entire business at risk.</p>

<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">

<p class="Help-Text">For maximum protection, it is recommended that you do regular backups to removable media that you store off-site.</p>
|

<p class="Help-Text">If you create a backup while other workstations are still using Point of Sale, only those transactions that have been updated (saved) are included in the backup file. We recommend that all workstations complete and save any pending transactions before a backup is made.</p>
|

<p class="Help-Text">It is important to note that Point of Sale only backs up your Point of Sale data. Therefore, it should serve as only one component of a comprehensive <a href="backup_strategy.htm">data protection strategy</a>. You must take separate action to back up other important information for your business (QuickBooks Desktop financial software records, payroll records, other applications, etc.).</p>
