You should backup your data on a regular schedule. This is valuable insurance, in case you lose your data for any reason you have the ability to restore your data if you maintain backups. The program includes a module that allows you to back up your data files automatically or you can choose to back up your data manually by the click of a button.
Before performing backup the first time, you need to setup the backup manager. Click on this link for instructions on setting up the backup manager.
Backup Data
If you have setup the backup manager to perform automatic backups you don't have to take any actions to backup your data as backups will be created automatically. If you want to perform a manual backup select File>Manual backup from the main menu or click on the 
icon on the toolbar. You can run a manual backup anytime even it you have automatic backups set.

Backup and Restore Notes.
1. The program cannot backup data to a cd or DVD drive. If you backup your data to the default backup folder or another folder on your hard drive, you should copy the backup data using Windows File Explorer or other program to a CD or DVD or other removable storage device and store in a safe location.
2. The backup files are stored in an industry standard zip file format and the data can be extracted by any program that can read zip files such as WinZip, PkZip etc.
3. DO NOT perform a restore to see if the backup is good without taking the following precaution.
a. First copy all files ending with the extension TPS to another folder before doing a restore. If the files are corrupt on your restore disk, you can copy the TPS files back from the folder where you copied them.
