If you use Sage 50 to manage your business accounts the chances are you’ve been told to keep regular backups, or heard about Sage’s problems with data corruption. However, the sad fact is that many accountants and business owners don’t find time to set-up a backup system and schedule until it’s too late.
This is hardly surprising when a proper backup solution can mean days or weeks of planning and spending hundreds or even thousands of pounds…it’s all too easy to put off investments which don’t provide a visible and immediate return for your business. But did you know there’s a free backup tool for Sage, created by Sage Integration experts Internetware, that will automatically backup your crucial Sage files to online storage?
Cloud Backup takes minutes to set up and can backup your Sage files to:
- FTP/Secure webspace
- File Server
- Amazon S3
- Dropbox
- SAN/External HD
Cloud Backup automatically compresses your Sage data in the standard .zip format to save space on your storage medium of choice, and once set up will run on a pre-defined schedule so long as your computer or server is powered on.
Cloud Backup isn’t a replacement for a full business recovery/disaster plan but in our experience most SMEs don’t have the time or money to give serious thought to that. As such we hope Cloud Backup for Sage will at least mean you have a simple, free of charge solution to back up some of your most important business data: your books.
