You have seen that we start the day with the Buzz. Well you end each day with an offer to make a safety backup of your data. Backups are a crucial part of using a computer for your business and the DCMS makes it easy to create your backups on a regular basis. The DCMS also makes a monthly backup and keeps it for one year, and will search those backups for those customers you thought had gone to Mary Kay heaven, but then came back - or those you deleted by mistake.

Features of the Backup Utility include an indication of how old your current backup is (along with a nag if it was over the recommended time between backups). You can choose to Make a Backup, Restore Data from a Backup or Extract only certain data files from a Backup (such as your December Accomplishment Sheets). 

There is also a utility which allows you to Archive data which is too old to be of any current use, (like tax receipt records from 5 years ago) but which may be useful in the future (such as in an audit). Also, you are able to choose how often the DCMS prompts you to make a backup. In this example, the Consultant wants to be reminded every three days, but note that there hasn't been a backup made in 2 weeks!
