Backing up your data :
Please do not use anything other than the instructions below to
back up your system
If there is more than one practice, open each practice and back
them up separately.
1. Go to File and select Backup Data.
2. The Backup Warning window appears as a reminder to have all
users in the Practice and/or Communications Manager exit from
the program before continuing. Click OK.
3. When the Backup window opens, enter the name and path of
the directory in the Destination File Path and Name field. In the
example below, the H: Drive was specified for the Destination File
Path, and the backup file was named Tuesday. This was
accomplished by simply typing in H:\Tuesday. Medisoft
automatically enters the file type MBK at the end of the Destination
File Path and Name. If you do not enter a name, the current date
will be used as the backup name. If you are not sure of the
complete path for the backup, click Find to browse to the directory.
When the Find button is clicked, the Browse for Folder window
appears, allowing you to select a different Hard Drive, CD Drive,
Zip Drive, or another computer on your network. Once a
destination has been selected, click OK. You will be back in the
Destination File Path and Name field (above) where you will enter a
name for the backup.
4. If you decide on protecting the backups with a password, enter it
in the Password field. FYI: The Existing Backup Files section will list
all of the backups located in the Destination File Path. Also, the
Source Path field lists where the backup data is emanating from.
Once a Destination File Path and Name have been selected, click
on Start Backup. Note: The Start Backup and Close buttons will
change their appearance once the backup has begun. The Start
Backup button becomes disabled, and the Close button converts
to an Abort button, allowing you to abort the backup if necessary.
During the Backup process, the Backup Progress and File
Progress bars activate, indicating the progress of the Backup.
5. When the Backup has completed, click OK on the Information
window.
