Backup<\/h2>\n

Your database (i.e. your inFlow On-Premise information) will backup automatically to a local folder on your computer.  That said, you can also back up your database manually through inFlow\u2019s main menu to save it elsewhere (like an external drive or other computer).<\/p>\n

To make a backup of your database:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Click Main Menu <\/em>> General <\/em>> Backup Data<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  2. Select the location you\u2019d like to save the backup.<\/li>\n
  3. Click Next.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When you have a backup of your database it can be used to move your inFlow to another computer<\/a> (if you have a replacement computer coming into the office) or if you wish to re-arrange your set up. It can also be used to reverse import changes as discussed in the section about imports<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

    Restore<\/h2>\n

    To restore your data from an inFlow backup file:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Click Main Menu > General <\/em>> Restore Data<\/em>.<\/li>\n
    2. Select your backup file to restore from.<\/li>\n
    3. Click Next<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
