Backup Decorus and Sage

Backup Decorus and Sage

When backing up Decorus it is ESSENTIAL that you also create a matching sage backup, this includes every company that you are using.

Starting with Sage you must create backups for each separate company, in this example we will show 2 companies.

Go to File (top left corner of main screen) and click on ‘Backup’ from the drop down list.

Sage will prompt if you would like to check your data
(Recommended as you can adjust any warnings or errors if any have occurred)
                                                                                                      
                                                                       



After the check is complete Sage will prompt if you have any errors, assuming you have no errors the next (backup) screen will be presented.


 



















 







On the backup screen it is advisable to change the default location (via browse button) to an external source such as a network drive or USB drive.

Once the backup has been completed you must backup you other company(s), to do this switch company in Sage from the file > Open company data option.


 Then select your other company and repeat the procedure above.


The next step is to run the Decorus backup; you will only need to do Decorus once as this will save all company data in 1 backup file. To do a backup of your current data set of Decorus go to the Decorus logo in the top left corner, and select ‘Backup Current Portfolio’.




     

Note: While doing a backup make sure no other users are logged into Decorus (this also applies to Sage).


Click on the box shown below to select a backup location.





 

 This comment will appear on a successful Decorus backup but you should have already done the Sage company(s) so you can click ‘OK’ and you will now have a successful backup of Decorus and Sage.

 

 You can also backup Decorus from the ‘Overview Module’.


And from the login screen

 

 Note: When you select the bottom left icon you must enter your login details and have admin rights.
