How To Schedule A Daily Backup Of A PayClock Version 6 Database

The PayClock Version 6 Database can be backed up and restored from the Backup/Restore Data menu under the PayClock orb. The backup can also be scheduled daily. To do so:

1. Open PayClock Version 6.
2. Click on the PayClock Orb in the top left corner.
3. Click Backup/Restore Data...
   
   PayClock should close temporarily and the Database Assistant window should open.
4. In the Backup section, click the Schedule button.
5. Place a check in Enable Daily Backups. This is checked by default.
6. Enter a time for the daily backup to occur.
7. Select a location for the backup file to be created.
   
   The database cannot be backed up to a network drive.
8. After the time and location is selected, click Save.
9. Click the Close button to close the Database Assistant.

PayClock should reopen after the Database Assistant is closed. When the daily backup is created, it is stored in a PayClock_Daily_Backup folder, which can be added to any system backup processes that occur on the computer. A scheduled task can also be setup to copy the database backup to a network location. Click here to download instructions to setup the task.
