11.2 DATA BACK UP
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU BACK UP YOUR DATA AT LEAST 2 TO 3 TIMES A
WEEK.
In
order to BACK UP your data, go to the Start button on the
bottom of the computer screen. Go to Programs, then find the
ADVANTAGE
Salon Software and
Spa Software
on the list of programs. You will see the option: SSM DATA – BACK UP,
select this option. Select the Back Up Data button. You must
select the drive that you want to back up the data, then for Sub
Directory enter a name for the back up data file. Then Click the
Back Up Now button. Please note that you can not back up data
if you have the ADVANTAGE Salon and Spa Software program open.
If
you are using 3 ½ floppy disks to back up, be sure that you have at
least 4 or 5 disks. If you would like to back up to a Zip Disk (you
will only need one), make sure you have a Zip drive in your computer, or
purchase an external Zip drive.
Please note that when using floppy disks you should have several sets of
disks. You also will need to delete or erase the contents of the disks
if you are going to reuse them for additional backup sessions. For
instance, when you use floppy disks the disks will generally be full
when you finish the backup process. You can not backup data over
existing data, so if you going to use the same set again you need to
erase the contents or use a new set of disks. That is why it is
critical you have several sets of disks you can rotate.
Although the probability of your data being lost or damaged on your
computer is very low, if it does happen you will realize the importance
of timely and accurate backups. PERFORM BACKUPS REGULARLY AND ON MORE
THAN ONE SET OF BACKUP MEDIA. DO NOT REUSE THE SAME DISKETTES OR CD
DISKS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
