Backup to Data Warehouse (Single Company)

PS Data Warehouse is a secure online warehouse which provides you with a secure off-site storage option.

How to Backup a Single Company to PS Data Warehouse:

  1.  Tick the Send backup to Practical Systems Data Warehouse check box.

Note: If there is not a tick next to a year, it will not be in the backup.

  • In the Options box:
    • Tick the Include documents checkbox, if you wish any documents attached to transactions to be included in the backup. Note: that this has the potential to significantly increase the size of the backup file, depending on how many documents are attached to transactions.
    • Add timestamp to filename if you want a date and time to be automatically added to the backup name. e.g. CBPlus 2021-02-24 14.51.11
